Afr. J. Zool., 34: 81 . Type Locality: Burundi , Nyamugari, 2200 m . Vernacular Names: De Graaff's Praomys . Distribution: Recorded only from moist montane forest covering the Albertine Rift Mtns in Burundi , Rwanda and Uganda ( Van der Straeten and Kerbis Peterhans, 1999 , who also indicated the species to be "restricted" to high forested elevations in the Albertine Rift). Conservation: IUCN – Near Threatened. Discussion: A distinct and one of the more easily identified species in the P. jacksoni complex; distinguished from P. jacksoni by a suite of chromosomal traits (2n = 26, FN = 24), fur coloration, morphometric data, and number of teats. Where the altitudinal ranges of P. degraaffi and P. jacksoni narrowly overlap, the former is usually found at higher elevations.
