Comment:
Comments: Subgenus Acomys. Described as a species by Heim de Balsac, but listed as a synonym of A. cahirinus by Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951) and Musser and Carleton (1993); however, the karyotype is different (2n = 38, FN = 68 compared with 2n = 36, FN = 68 for A. cahirinus) and the two can be distinguished by molar morphology (Denys et al., 1994:237). Kowalski and Rzebik-Kowalska (1991) provided references to distributional records, ecology, and morphology of the species
