Hylomyscus carillus
(Thomas 1904)
[Hylomyscus] carillus
(Thomas 1904)
,
Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 13: 418
.
Type Locality:
Angola
, Andongo, Pungo,
1200 m
.
Vernacular Names:
Angolan Hylomyscus
.
Distribution:
WC
Angola
; limits unknown (
Crawford-Cabral, 1998
, claimed the species occurs in SE Dem. Rep.
Congo
).
Conservation:
IUCN
– Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion:
Associated with either
H. aeta
(
Hatt, 1940
a
)
or
H. alleni
(G. M.
Allen, 1939
)
, the affinities of
carillus
may be closer to
H. stella
(based on our study of the
holotype
and series from Pungo in
BMNH
). We have identified three distinct species of
Hylomyscus
occurring in
Angola
:
H. carillus
, an unnamed population related to East African
H. denniae
, and
H. stella
(specimens in
AMNH
,
BMNH
, and
FMNH
).
Crawford-Cabral (1998)
reviewed and mapped records he identified as
H. carillus
and regarded this as the only species in
Angola
; some of his records likely represent the other two species.
