Dasymys rwandae W. Verheyen, Hulselmans, Dierckx, Colyn, Leirs, and E. Verheyen 2003 View in CoL , Bull. Inst. Roy. Sci. Nat. Belg., Biol., 73: 45.

Type Locality: NW Rwanda, Virunga Volcanoes (Nyungwe Forest), Kinigi, 2250 m (01°26’S, 29°36’E, as per W. Verheyen et al., 2003). GoogleMaps

Vernacular Names: Rwandan Dasymys.

Distribution: Probably endemic to the Virunga Volcanoes forming eastern rim of the Rift Valley in Rwanda (W. Verheyen et al., 2003).

Discussion: Member of the D. incomtus species complex, and diagnosed by multivariate analyses of craniodental measurements and complete mtDNA cytochrome b sequences relative to examples of D. alleni and D. bentleyae (W. Verheyen et al., 2003) . Specimens from mountains to the south in W Burundi are not D. rwandae but D. bentleyae judged from craniometric data.
