Lophuromys huttereri: Comments
Comment:
Comments: Subgenus Lophuromys; closely related to L. nudicaudus, which is found on the right side of the Congo River (see that account). Morphological and morphometric contrasts among L. huttereri, L. nudicaudus, and L. sikapusi documented by W. Verheyen et al. (1996), who also mapped the distribution and discussed how the range of L. huttereri is concordant with the South-Central zoogeographic faunal region
