[Grammomys] ibeanus ( Osgood 1910) View in CoL , Field Mus . Nat. Hist. Publ., Zool. Ser., 10: 8.

Type Locality: Kenya, Molo.

Vernacular Names: East African Grammomys.

Distribution: From extreme NE Zambia (Nyika Plateau; Ansell, 1978) and Malawi ( Ansell and Dowsett, 1988) north through highlands of E Tanzania ( Stanley et al., 1998; and specimens in MCZ) and Kenya to S Sudan ( Hollister, 1919; Hutterer and Dieterlen, 1984).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Morphological and geographic definition of G. ibeanus is unsatisfactory, particularly the extent of its distribution in Tanzania. Hutterer and Dieterlen (1984) treated ibeanus as a form of G. cometes , but the striking morphological distinctions between samples of ibeanus and the type series of cometes prompted our specific ranking of ibeanus (see also account of G. cometes ).
