Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 5: 276 . Type Locality: SW Kenya , Lake Elmenteita. Vernacular Names: Storey's African Mole Rat . Distribution: Recorded only from the type locality. Discussion: Thomas (1909 b ) remarked that T. storeyi "is readily distinguishable by its comparatively large size, long and well-defined brain-case, and long nasals." Only T. annectens exceeds T. storeyi in body size, and the relationships and stature between the two and other large-bodied taxa remain to be uncovered.
