SPECIES Neamblysomus julianae
| Author: | Meester, 1972. | | Citation: | Ann. Transvaal Mus., 28(4): 35. | | Common Name: | Juliana’s Golden Mole | | Type Locality: | South Africa, Gauteng, Pretoria, The Willows. | | Distribution: | Pretoria (Gauteng), Nylstroom (Limpopo Prov.) and Kruger Nat. Park (Mpumalanga, South Africa). | | Status: | IUCN – Critically Endangered as Amblysomus julianae. | | Comments: | Consistent dental and fur differences between the western (Pretoria and Nylstroom) and eastern (Kruger Nat. Park) populations allude to distinct subspecies (Meester, 1972; Bronner 1990), but study of more specimens is needed to confirm this. |
