discussion
Discussion: Recorded only from two localities. About the same body size as G. dolichurus and G. macmillani but has a very different karyotype (2 n = 32, FN = 64; 2 n = 52, FN = 66 in G. dolichurus and 2 n = 68 - 76 in G. macmillani). Reviewed as an Ethiopian endemic by Yalden and Largen (1992; also see Yalden et al., 1996).
