Comments: Subgenus Gerbillus. Possibly a distinct species (Lay, 1983), but poorly known. Discussed by Pavlinov et al. (1990). Karyotype from Niger sample (2n = 56, FNa = 54) described by Dobigny et al. (2002b). The record from Egypt is based on two specimens collected by Dr. E. Emel'anova and identified by Pavlinov (in litt., 2002), those from Chad, Niger, and Mali are documented by Dobigny et al., 2002b)
