Description
Aethomys nyikae (Thomas, 1897). Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1897:431.
TYPE LOCALITY: N Malawi, Nyika Plateau.
DISTRIBUTION: N Zambia, Malawi, N Angola, and S Zaire; limits unknown.
SYNONYMS: dollmani.
COMMENTS: Delany (1975) considered nyikae to be a synonym of kaiseri, but Davis (19756) and Ansell (1978) correctly treated it as a separate species. Ansell (1978) provided documentation for the geographic range and discussed the identity of dollmani. The published record from Eastern Ngorima Reserve in E Zimbabwe is possibly based on a misidentification as inferred by Skinner and Smithers (1990:280).
