[Grammomys] buntingi (Thomas 1911) View in CoL , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 7: 381.

Type Locality: Liberia, Bassa, Gonyon.

Vernacular Names: Bunting's Grammomys.

Distribution: Zone of high forest, coastal scrub or Guinea woodland in West Africa from Senegal ( Duplantier and Granjon, 1992), Sierra Leone ( Grubb et al., 1998), and Guinea to Côte d’Ivoire and Liberia; see Rosevear (1969).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Except for Misonne (1974), who included it in G. dolichurus , buntingi has always been listed or discussed as a species of Grammomys (G. M. Allen, 1939; Ellerman, 1941; Hutterer and Dieterlen, 1984; F. Petter and Trainer, 1975; Rosevear, 1969). Apparently G. buntingi is a member of a suite of species endemic to West Africa that includes Dephomys defua , D. eburneae , Hybomys planifrons , H. trivirgatus , Hylomyscus baeri , Lemniscomys bellieri , Malacomys cansdalei , M. edwardsi , Oenomys ornatus , Praomys daltoni , P. derooi , and P. rostratus ( Carleton and Robbins, 1985; Hutterer and Dieterlen, 1984).
