Ser., 10: 8.   Type Locality:  Kenya, Molo.   Vernacular Names: East African Grammomys.   Distribution:From extreme NE Zambia(Nyika Plateau; Ansell, 1978) and Malawi( Ansell and Dowsett, 1988) north through highlands of E Tanzania( Stanley et al., 1998; and specimens in MCZ) and Kenyato S Sudan( Hollister, 1919; Hutterer and Dieterlen, 1984).   Conservation: IUCN– Lower Risk (lc).   Discussion:Morphological and geographic definition of  G. ibeanusis unsatisfactory, particularly the extent of its distribution in Tanzania. Hutterer and Dieterlen (1984)treated  ibeanusas a form of  G. cometes, but the striking morphological distinctions between samples of  ibeanusand the type series of  cometesprompted our specific ranking of  ibeanus(see also account of  G. cometes). 4867324842 Kenya 1325
