SPECIES Gerbillus (Hendecapleura) syrticus
| Author: | Misonne, 1974. | | Citation: | Bull. Inst. R. Sci. Nat. Belg., 50: 1. | | Common Name: | Sand Gerbil | | Type Locality: | Libya, 12 km N Nofilia. | | Distribution: | Known only from the type locality. | | Status: | IUCN – Critically Endangered. | | Comments: | Subgenus Hendecapleura. Relationship of G. syrticus has to be evaluated in a taxonomic revision in Lay’s opinion (1983), but Pavlinov et al. (1990) included it in G. henleyi with a question. We list it as a separate species pending revisionary study of the genus. |
