Comment:
Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc)
Comment:
Comments: A distinctive small-bodied species with a long tail and small hind feet; reviewed by Coetzee (1977a), Meester et al. (1986), and Ansell (1978). The holotypes of angolensis and bradleyi (in AMNH) are unproblematic examples of S. krebsii. Populations in KwaZulu-Natal Prov., E South Africa, reviewed by P. J. Taylor (1998), who transferred tongensis from S. parvus to S. krebsii. De Graaff (1997hh) mapped the spotty distribution but suspected that it reflected lack of focused collection
