Description
Taterillus lacustris (Thomas and Wroughton 1907)
[Taterillus] lacustris (Thomas and Wroughton 1907), Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 19: 37.
Type Locality: Nigeria, Lake Chad (= Kaddai).
Vernacular Names: Lake Chad Tateril.
Distribution: NE Nigeria and Cameroon.
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Rosevear (1969) synonymized lacustris with T. gracilis, but both Robbins (1974, 1977) and F. Petter (1975 b) treated it as a distinct species. Analysis of serum proteins pointed to a closer relationship of T. lacustris to T. pygargus rather than T. gracilis (Tranier et al., 1974).
