discussion
Discussion: Still known only by the holotype. A member of the Lemniscomys barbarus group. Dieterlen (1991) summarized knowledge of this species, and Carleton and Van der Straeten (1997) provided a current review. Its diagnostic dorsal pattern of stripes and large body size relative to L. zebra, which occurs all around it, prompted Carleton and Van der Straeten (1997: 667) to retain L. hoogstraali as a distinct species, but they cautioned that " More and larger series must be assembled to rigorously evaluate the characters and status of Dieterlen’s new form, so far known only by the holotype, its condition imperfect. ".
