Discussion: Rosevear (1969:549) recognized logonensis and camerunensis as valid species; Misonne (1974:7) concluded that the affinities of logonensis and camerunensis were not clear and de Graaff (1981) indicated that their affinities should be reassessed. Misonne (1974:7) included congicus, harrisoni, pusillus, and rutshuricus in gregoriamus without comment of subspecific status. Meester et al. (1986) recognized two subspecies in southern Africa but did not comment on the subspecific validity of the other forms. Karyotype has 2n=40 and FN=80 ( George, 1980).
