Neamblysomus julianae Meester 1972

Neamblysomus julianae Meester 1972, Ann. Transvaal Mus., 28 (4): 35.

Type Locality: South Africa, Gauteng, Pretoria, The Willows.

Vernacular Names: Juliana's Golden Mole.

Distribution: Pretoria (Gauteng), Nylstroom (Limpopo Prov.) and Kruger Nat. Park (Mpumalanga, South Africa).

Conservation: IUCN – Critically Endangered as Amblysomus julianae .

Discussion: Consistent dental and fur differences between the western (Pretoria and Nylstroom) and eastern (Kruger Nat. Park) populations allude to distinct subspecies (Meester, 1972; Bronner 1990), but study of more specimens is needed to confirm this.
