 Comments
       
  Comment: Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc)  
    Comments: Formerly included in crassicaudatus, see Gureev (1964:174) and Peddie (1975); see also Robinson and Dippenaar (1983a). The systematic relationships of the two widely disjunct populations should be examined (Duthie and Robinson, 1990)
