 Comments
       
  Comment: Status: IUCN - Data Deficient as M. g. solus (sic), Lower Risk (nt) as C. g. maurus, otherwise Lower Risk (lc)  
    Comments: Close relationship to, but genetic segregation from, M. rutilus supported by allozymic data (Mezhzherin and Serbenyuk, 1992; Nadler et al., 1978), although some had earlier suggested, without presentation of data, that gapperi and rutilus are conspecific (Bee and Hall, 1956; Youngman, 1975).
