MATERIAL AND METHODS The present paper continues my revisionary studies of the rodent fauna of the Sudanese Republic (Dieterlen & Rupp 1978; Hutterer & Dieterlen 1981; Dieterlen & Nikolaus 1985). The research is mainly based on collec- tions obtained by Hans Rupp (tl979) and Gerhard Niko- laus in Ethiopia and Sudan between 1971 and 1983. Al- most all the rodent material is housed in the Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde, Stuttgart, Gennany (SMNS). Comparative material was studied in the following inu- seum collections: Museum of Comparative Zoology (MCZ), Harvard University, Cambridge (Mass.), ; Zoological Museum of the University of Copenhagen (ZMUC), Denmark; British Museum (Natural History), London, ; Zoologisches Forschungsmuseum Alexan- der Koenig, Bonn (ZFMK), Germany. In addition to the relevant literature, the author's fieldwork and taxonomic studies of several species of Dendromus in the Congolese Kivu Highland (Albertine Rift Valley) served for compar- ison (Dieterlen 1969, 1971, 1976). 3. RESULTS Species of Dendromus in the Sudan Republic Only two species were recorded from the territory of the Sudan Republic so far: D. mystacalis by Setzer (1956). and D. messorius by Musser & Carleton (2005). A record of D. mesomelas subspec. (Setzer 1956) was based on an incorrect determination. Most of the 17 specimens of D. mystacalis preserved in museum collections were collected by J. S. Owen and H. Hoogstraal. A third (new) species, to be described below, was collected by J. S. Owen, H. Rupp, and G. Nikolaus. Dendromus mystacalis lineatus Heller, 1911 Material from South Sudan (17). All nine localities are in the Equatoria Province, seven of them E of the Bahr el Jebel (White Nile) and S of Torit (Fig. 1): Issore (40 miles S
