So, only one species, D. harringtoni, is currently recognized in the genus Desmomys endemic to Ethiopia (Musser & Carleton 1993; Yalden et al. 1996). During fieldwork of the Joint Ethio-Russian Biological Expedition (JERBE) in 1999 two Desmomys specimens which could not be identified with D. harringtoni were collected in the Sheko Forest. A subsequent examination of the collection in the Natural History Museum (London) yielded a further specimen from Gore. The.
