Biol. Soc. Wash., 84: 387 . Type Locality: Morocco , Fes Province, 15 km WSW Taounate (see Lay, 1983 , and map in Aulagnier and Thevenot, 1986 ). Vernacular Names: Maghreb Dipodil . Distribution: Recorded only from the Fes region (between the coast and tip of Middle Atlas Mtns) in N Morocco where it is abundant ( Aulagnier et al., 1993 ). Conservation: IUCN – Vulnerable as Gerbillus maghrebi . Discussion: Subgenus Dipodillus . A distinctive Moroccan endemic unrelated to D. simoni as Schlitter and Setzer (1972) proposed, but instead phylogenetically linked to D. campestris according to Lay (1983) . Aulagnier et al. (1993) documented detailed cranial and dental comparisons between samples of D. maghrebi and those of sympatric D. campestris . Reviewed by Pavlinov et al. (1990) .
