Morphological characters Besides the large H. grandis and the small H. a. montis , one can recover a medium size Hylomyscus that morphologically can be attributed to the alleni-stella complex ( Table 6 ). Eisentraut (1969) described H. alleni on Mt Oku and named a subspecies ( alleni montis ) from Bioko. He also described H. stella Thomas, 1911 from Nyasoso and Mt Cameroon .The taxonomy of this group has benefited from recent molecular and morphometric advances ( Nicolas et al. 2008 a , Missoup et al. 2009), which allow us to report the first record of H. walterverheyeni from Mt Oku. Four specimens of this species (among which two have been sequenced) were collected during this study.
