SPECIES Dasymys cabrali
| Author: | W. Verheyen, Hulselmans, Dierckx, Colyn, Leirs, and E. Verheyen, 2003. | | Citation: | Bull. Inst. Roy. Sci. Nat. Belgique, Biol., 73: 39. | | Common Name: | Crawford-Cabral’s Dasymys | | Type Locality: | NE Namibia, Groot Fontein Dist., near the Okavango River (Omatoka Junction), 1080 m (17°56’S, 20°25’E, as per W. Verheyen et al., 2003). | | Distribution: | Apparently endemic to the Okavango Basin (W. Verheyen et al., 2003). The only specimens explicitly assigned to D. cabrali come from the type locality and Caprivi Strip of NW Namibia, but records from SE Angola (Crawford-Cabral, 1998), SW Zambia (Ansell, 1978), and N Botswana (Smithers, 1971) possibly represent this species. | |
