| Author: | Gray, 1842. | | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., [ser. 1], 10: 262. | | Common Name: | Lord Derby’s Scaly-tailed Squirrel | | Type Locality: | "Sierra Leone". | | Distribution: | Sierra Leone, Côte d’Iroire, Ghana, Togo, Nigeria, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Angola, Dem. Rep. Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, N Malawi, Mozambique. | | Status: | CITES – Appendix III (Ghana); IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). Not mentioned in Schlitter (1989). | | Comments: | See Misonne (1974, pt. 6:4-5). Distribution in Côte d’Iroire formerly questionable, but occurrence confirmed by Fischer et al. (2002). Taxa fraseri, imperator and nigrensis were considered "valid as a race" by Rosevear (1969); beldeni, neavei and perustus were considered "well defined subspecies" by Verheyen (1968); laticeps and squamicaudus are synonyms of fraseri (Allen 1939); fortior is a synonym of jacksoni (Verheyen 1968). There is no proof of the validity of subspecies (A. C. Schunke, in litt.). |
