Common Name:Berbera Gerbil
Type Locality:Somalia, Berbera.
Distribution:Somalia.

Comments:Subgenus Gerbillus. Lay (1983:337) explained why F. Petter's (1975b) synonomy of G. alticola with G. pyramidum should not be followed: ". . . the nearest documented occurrence of G. pyramidum is over 1300 kilometers distant in Sudan." Lay claimed that acticola ". . . should be regarded as distinct pending revision and karyotypic analysis." Pavlinov et al. (1990) included acticola in G. pyramidum but with a question.
