Tachyoryctes ankoliae Thomas 1909 View in CoL

Tachyoryctes ankoliae Thomas 1909 View in CoL , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 4: 545.

Type Locality: SW Uganda, Burumba, Ankole.

Vernacular Names: Ankole African Mole Rat.

Distribution: SW Uganda ( Hollister, 1919; Lunde and Sarmiento, 2002) NW Tanzania ( Swynnerton and Hayman, 1951); limits unknown.

Conservation: IUCN - Vulnerable.

Discussion: Recorded as a species by Swynnerton and Hayman (1951) but as a subspecies of T. splendens by Delany (1975), who nevertheless noted the cranial traits by which ankoliae could be distinguished from the adjacent ruddi , which was also treated as a subspecies of T. splendens by Delany. Both T. ankoliae and T. ruddi were caught in the Kalinzu forest preserve in SW Uganda ( Lunde and Sarmiento, 2002) and the two species apparently occur in NW Tanzania (see account of T. ruddi ).
