see
Kock, 1978
, Bull. Carnegie
Mus
. Nat. Hist., 6:31-37. Petter, 1975, Part 6.3:10- 11, considered
harwoodi
a distinct species and included
luteolus
in
campestris
.
This species is a composite; the
holotype
of
harwoodi
has no accessory tympanum, whereas that of
luteolus
has an accessory tympanum, thus
harwoodi
and
luteolus
are regarded as distinct pending revision (DML).
Roche, 1975
, Monitore Zool. Ital., suppl. 6:263-268, considered
harwoodi
as probably distinct from
pusillus
.
DML includes this species in genus
Dipodillus
;
