Lophuromys (Kivumys) luteogaster Hatt 1934 View in CoL , Am. Mus . Novit., 708: 4.

Type Locality: Dem. Rep. Congo, Orientale (Haute-Zaire), Ituri Dist., Medje.

Vernacular Names: Buff-bellied Brush-furred Rat.

Distribution: NE and E Dem. Rep. Congo (Medje, Irangi, Bafwasende, and Tungula; Dieterlen, 1987); limits unknown.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Subgenus Kivumys . W. Verheyen et al. (1996 a:250) referred to a " L.woosnami-luteogaster species-complex." Redescribed by W. Verheyen (1964 c), who noted that skull of holotype is an L. aquilus (discussed as flavopunctatus ) but the skin does represent the species named by Hatt, and both skin and skull of the paratype are luteogaster ; earlier, Osgood (1936:244) had identified the holotype as being a mismatch: "Although the skin is unique among Lophuromys , the skull is perfectly normal for a member of the aquilus group." Additional descriptions and references to this poorly known species were summarized by Dieterlen (1975, 1976 b, 1987).
