Type Locality: Nigeria, Panyam, 4000 ft (1219 m).

Vernacular Names: Northwestern African Fat Mouse.

Synonyms: Steatomys roseveari Swanepoel and Schlitter 1978 .

Discussion: Listed as a subspecies of S. pratensis by Coetzee (1977 a), but documented as species by Rosevear (1969) and Swanepoel and Schlitter (1978). The relationship between S. caurinus and S. pratensis from southern and East Africa warrants inquiry.
