Authors/Creators

Description

Chrysochloris stuhlmanni Matschie, 1894. Sitzb. Ges. Naturf. Fr. Berlin, p. 123.

TYPE LOCALITY: Uganda, Ruwenzori region, "Ukondjo und Kinyawanga".

DISTRIBUTION: Cameroon, N Zaire, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania.

SYNONYMS: balsaci, fosteri, tropicalis, vermiculus.

COMMENTS: See Meester (1974) who placed stuhlmanni in Chrysochloris. Lundholm (1955a) proposed the name Chlorotalpa (Kilimitalpa) for this species. Simonetta (1968:31) regarded it as a synonym of Carpitalpa. He placed arendsi, stuhlmanni and fosteri in Carpitalpa and tropicalis in Chlorotalpa. Lamotte and Petter (1981) described balsaci from Mt. Oku, Cameroon, a form which may deserve full specific status. Also the isolated tropicalis should be re- studied.
