Comments: Subgenus Lophuromys, L. aquilus species group (W. Verheyen et al., 2002). Apparently phylogenetically most closely allied with L. eisentrauti from nearby Mt Lefo (W. Verheyen et al., 1997). Holotypes of L. eisentrauti, L. dieterleni, Mt Elgon L. rubecula, and montane Kenyan L. zena cluster with samples of L. chrysopus, suggesting all represent the same species, a possibility requiring testing by analyses of morphometric, chromosomal, and molecular variation in geographic samples from the re...
