discussion
Discussion: Treated as another montane variant of a highly polymorphic O. irroratus (Petter, 1982) or O. typus (Bohmann, 1952; Misonne, 1974). As noted by Thomas (1906 a) and Dollman (1915), this form consistently possesses only 6 M 3 laminae (confirmed in FMNH 144327, 144328, 144330), unlike the 8 - 9 in O. typus proper, and is much smaller with more darkly colored, somewhat woolly fur. Morphological and genetic conformity with Ethiopian populations should be demonstrated.
Order Rodentia - Family Muridae

Distribution: Open moorland, 3300 - 3900 m, in the Ruwenzori Mtns (Kerbis Peterhans et al., 1998, as O. typus).
