SPECIES Taterillus lacustris
| Author: | Thomas and Wroughton, 1907. | | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 19: 37. | | Common Name: | Lake Chad Tateril | | Type Locality: | Nigeria, Lake Chad (= Kaddai). | | Distribution: | NE Nigeria and Cameroon. | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | Rosevear (1969) synonymized lacustris with T. gracilis, but both Robbins (1974, 1977) and F. Petter (1975b) treated it as a distinct species. Analysis of serum proteins pointed to a closer relationship of T. lacustris to T. pygargus rather than T. gracilis (Tranier et al., 1974). |
