Mus (Nannomys) baoulei Vermeiren and Verheyen 1980 View in CoL , Rev. Zool. Afr., 94: 573.

Type Locality: Côte d’Ivoire, Lamto.

Vernacular Names: Baoule's Mouse.

Distribution: Known only from Côte d’Ivoire and E Guinea ( Grubb et al., 1998, guessed the species may reach Ghana or Sierra Leone).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Subgenus Nannomys . Occurs sympatrically with M. minutoides and M. setulosus , morphology closely similar to species in the M. sorella group ( Vermeiren and Verheyen, 1980). The diagnostic traits reported for M. baoulei by Vermeiren and Verheyen (1980) are those that set M. sorella apart from other species of Mus ( Verheyen, 1965 a) . Judged by their description, M. baoulei is distinguished from M. sorella by smaller size, a contrast that also exists between M. sorella and M. neavei (see that account). The relationship of baoulei to other members of the M. sorella group requires fresh assessment.
