Systematique Du Genre Procavia Et Des Damans en General

“…Forme decrite du Nord-Est du Congo-Kinshasa, qui semble referable a kerstingi par tons ses caracteres, en depit de s position geographique eloignee. Thomas (1911), lors de la description d'owe/?/, avait dej note la grande ressemblance entre ces deux formes.…”

Integrative taxonomy of Guinean Lemniscomys species (Rodentia, Mammalia)

“…Bellier & Gautun (1967) and Van der Straeten (1980) recorded L. linulus in the north of Ivory Coast (RCI). Thomas (1911) and Rosevear (1969) reported the species in Gemenjulla (West Senegal) (locality of the paratype of L. linulus), with the presence of a second species attributed to L. barbarus oweni = L. zebra according to Carleton & Van der Straeten (1997). Granjon & Duplantier (2009) indicated its sympatry with L. linulus in Sudanian savannah in Mali.…”
