SPECIES Tachyoryctes storeyi
| Author: | Thomas, 1909. | | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 5: 276. | | Common Name: | Storey’s African Mole Rat | | Type Locality: | SW Kenya, Lake Elmenteita. | | Distribution: | Recorded only from the type locality. | | Comments: | Thomas (1909b) remarked that T. storeyi "is readily distinguishable by its comparatively large size, long and well-defined brain-case, and long nasals." Only T. annectens exceeds T. storeyi in body size, and the relationships and stature between the two and other large-bodied taxa remain to be uncovered. |
