Otomys anchietae Bocage 1882 View in CoL , J. Sci. Acad. Lisbon, 9: 26.

Type Locality: Angola, Huila, Caconda.

Vernacular Names: Angolan Vlei Rat.

Distribution: C and NE Angola ( Crawford-Cabral, 1998:Map 23).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (nt).

Discussion: Type species of Anchotomys , employed as a subgenus of Otomys by Thomas (1918 b). Cranial form and dental traits strongly differentiated compared with other Otomys ( Taylor and Kumirai, 2001) . Dieterlen and Van der Straeten (1992) reasonably argued the recognition of barbouri and lacustris , formerly arranged as subspecies ( Misonne, 1974), as species (see those accounts).
