Vandeleuria nolthenii Phillips, 1929 View in CoL . Ceylon J. Sci., Sec. B, 15: 165.
TYPE LOCALITY: Sri Lanka, Uva, Ohiya, West Haputale, 6000 ft .
DISTRIBUTION: Highlands (above 3800 ft) of Central and Uva provinces of Sri Lanka.
COMMENTS: Usually considered a subspecies of V. oleracea ( Agrawal and Chakraborty, 1980; Ellerman, 1961), nolthenii is distinct in its montane distribution, pelage coloration, and external and cranial traits from V. oleracea occuring at lower elevations, and should be treated as a separate species (Musser, 1979).
