Treatment

Steatomys cuppedius Thomas and Hinton, 1920 . Novit. Zool., 27:318.

TYPE LOCALITY: Nigeria, Farniso (= Panisau), near Kano, 1700 ft .

DISTRIBUTION: A W African endemic occurring from Senegal to NC Nigeria and SC Niger (see map in Swanepoel and Schütter, 1978); actual range unresolved.

COMMENTS: Revised by Swanepoel and Schütter (1978), who regarded cuppedius as a distinct species and not a member of S. parvus , as Coetzee (1977a) had indicated.
