Pedetes surdaster Thomas 1902 View in CoL

Pedetes surdaster Thomas 1902 View in CoL , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 9: 440.

Type Locality: Kenya, Naivasha Prov., Mordat, mile 365 of Uganda Railway.

Vernacular Names: East African Spring Hare.

Synonyms: Pedetes currax Hollister 1918 ; Pedetes dentatus Miller 1927 ; Pedetes larvalis Hollister 1918 ; Pedetes taborae G. M. Allen and Loveridge 1927 .

Distribution: Tanzania, Kenya.

Conservation: IUCN – Vulnerable (as included in P. capensis ?).

Discussion: A distinct species according to Thomas (1902), Hollister (1918), Coe (1969), and Davies (1982). The separation of surdaster from capensis was strongly supported by Matthee and Robinson (1997) based upon genetic, morphological, and ethological differences between the East African and South African Springhares. There is no proof of the validity of subspecies.
