SPECIES Genetta angolensis
| Author: | Bocage, 1882. | | Citation: | J. Sci. Math. Phys. Nat. Lisboa, ser. 1, 9: 29. | | Common Name: | Angolan Genet | | Type Locality: | "Calcuimba" [placed in Angola, Caconda (13°47'S, 15°08'E)]. | | Distribution: | Angola, Dem. Rep. Congo, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe. | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | Crawford-Cabral (1970) argued that mossambica should be considered a synonym of angolensis, but later (Crawford-Cabral and Pacheco, 1992) changed and placed mossambica in zambesiana (= maculata). Crawford-Cabral and Fernandes (1999) considered "mossambica" specimens--as identified by Roberts (1951) distinct from mossambica Matschie, 1902, and therefore constituting a separate species closely related to maculata. |
