Lophuromys (Lophuromys) huttereri W. Verheyen, Colyn, and Hulselmans 1996 View in CoL , Bull. Inst. Roy. Sci. Nat. Belg., Biol., 66: 255.

Type Locality: N Dem. Rep. Congo, near village of Yaenero on left side of Congo River, 450 m (see W. Verheyen et al., 1996 a, for additional information) .

Vernacular Names: Hutterer's Brush-furred Rat.

Distribution: N Dem. Rep. Congo; equatorial lowland tropical rain forest between 300 and 450 m on left side of Congo River between Lualaba and Lomami Rivers, and west of the Lomami River to Ndele.

Discussion: Subgenus Lophuromys ; closely related to L. nudicaudus , which is found on the right side of the Congo River (see that account). Morphological and morphometric contrasts among L. huttereri , L. nudicaudus , and L. sikapusi documented by W. Verheyen et al. (1996 a), who also mapped the distribution and discussed how the range of L. huttereri is concordant with the South-Central zoogeographic faunal region.
