Geoffroy, 1806) . Ann. Mus . Hist. Nat. Paris, 8:201 . TYPE LOCALITY: Reunion Isl. ( France ) . DISTRIBUTION: Madagascar ; Reunion Isl. 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 leucogaster .
