Tatera kempii Wroughton, 1906: 375 View in CoL .
COMMON NAME. — Kemp’s Gerbil.
MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Kalakpa Resource Reserve • 1 ♂; brought to us by a Ghana Wildlife Division game scout; 18.XI.1999; ZT- NHC 973 .
REMARK
This species is known from other locations in the Volta Region and the Togo Highlands ( Robbins & Van der Straeten 1996; Grubb et al. 1998). Notwithstanding the debate voiced in Granjon et al. (2012) regarding the identity of West African G. kempi , we retain the name here, due to the far southern Dahomey Gap occurrence of our single specimen from Kalakpa Resource Reserve.
CONSERVATION STATUS. — Gerbilliscus kempi is listed as “Least Concern” on the IUCN Red List.
