Treatment

Amblysomus corriae Thomas 1905 , Abstr. Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1905 (20): 5.

Type Locality: South Africa, Western Cape Prov., Knysna.

Vernacular Names: Fynbos Golden Mole.

Subspecies: :

Subspecies Amblysomus corriae subsp. corriae Thomas 1905

Subspecies Amblysomus corriae subsp. devilliersi Roberts 1946

Distribution: Western Cape Prov. from Stellenbosch/Paarl eastwards to Knysna and George ( South Africa).

Discussion: A. corriae was previously treated as a subspecies of A. iris , and devilliersi as a subspecies of A. hottentotus , see Meester et al. (1986:23). Bronner (1996) showed that iris represents only a subspecies of A. hottentotus , and elevated corriae to species rank to include devilliersi.
