COMMENT: Included in
leucogaster
by
Hayman and Hill, 1971
, Part 2:50- 51; but see
Koopman, 1975
, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., 154:414-416. Hill, 1980, Zool. Meded., Leiden, 55:287-295, considered African
viridis
and
damarensis,
and possibly
leucogaster
to be conspecific with
borbonicus
,
but Robbins
et al.,
in press, rejected any affinity with African mainland species. May be extinct; see
Cheke and Dahl, 1981
,
Mammalia
, 45: 217, who also pointed out that records from
Mauritius
are erroneus. Also see comment under
