Comment:
Comments: A distinct and one of the more easily identified species in the P. jacksoni complex; distinguished from P. jacksoni by a suite of chromosomal traits (2n = 26, FN = 24), fur coloration, morphometric data, and number of teats. Where the altitudinal ranges of P. degraaffi and P. jacksoni narrowly overlap, the former is usually found at higher elevations
