Comment:
Comments: Subgenus Lophuromys, L. sikapusi species group (W. Verheyen et al., 2000). W. Verheyen et al. (2000) documented significant morphometric differences between L. angolensis and samples of L. sikapusi and L. ansorgei as revealed by univariate and multivariate analyses, but noted the lack of qualitative morphological distinctions between L. angolensis and the other two. Reviewed by Crawford-Cabral (1998) as L. sikapusi
