| Author: | Thomas, 1905. | | Citation: | Abstr. Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1905(20): 5. | | Citation Type: | see also: Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 2:57 | | Common Name: | Fynbos Golden Mole | | Type Locality: | South Africa, Western Cape Prov., Knysna. | | Distribution: | Western Cape Prov. from Stellenbosch/Paarl eastwards to Knysna and George (South Africa). | | Comments: | A. corriae was previously treated as a subspecies of A. iris, and devilliersi as a subspecies of A. hottentotus, see Meester et al. (1986:23). Bronner (1996) showed that iris represents only a subspecies of A. hottentotus, and elevated corriae to species rank to include devilliersi. |
