SPECIES Mus (Nannomys) orangiae
| Author: | Roberts, 1926. | | Citation: | Ann. Transvaal Mus., 11: 251. | | Common Name: | Orange Mouse | | Type Locality: | South Africa, N Free State, Kruisementifontein, Viljoensdrift, near Vereeniging. | | Distribution: | South Africa; N Free State (Vermeiren and Verheyen, 1983). | | Status: | IUCN – Least Concern. | | Comments: | Subgenus Nannomys. Either treated as a species possibly allied to M. setzeri (Vermeiren and Verheyen, 1983) or listed as a subspecies of M. minutoides (Meester et al., 1986; Skinner and Smithers, 1990). The definition of this form and its phylogenetic relationship to other southern African species require resolution. |
