Morphological characters

We collected seven new specimens of L. striatus and Fülling captured four. The single female has a 1 + 2 mammary formula. External measurements of these new specimens are provided in Table 6. Molecular sequencing confirms their specific status and their close relationship with the west central African clade of Nicolas et al. (2008b), Missoup (pers. comm.). Lemniscomys striatus is known from other CVL regions like Mamfe ( Sanderson 1940).
