SPECIES Beamys hindei
| Author: | Thomas, 1909. | | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 4: 108. | | Common Name: | Hinde’s Pouched Rat | | Type Locality: | Kenya, Coast Prov., Taveta. | | Distribution: | SE Kenya and E Tanzania (FitzGibbon et al., 1995:Fig. 1). | | Status: | IUCN – Vulnerable. | | Comments: | Karyotype reported (2n = 52), distribution amplified, and natural history discussed by FitzGibbon et al. (1995); univariate analyses with small sample sizes suggest clinal variation along coastal Tanzania, not the existence of two species, but the matter of synonymy was left as inconclusive. |
