Circles indicate specimens examined; triangle indicates published record. from northern Tripolitania constituted the first record of occurrence of dormice in Libya. Since that time, E. m. tunetae has been regarded as a subspecies of E. lerotinus (Lataste) (Zavattari, 1934), regarded as a subspecies of E. munbyanus (Ellerman, 1941), or considered as a pure synonym of E. m. munbyanus (Cabrera, 1932; and Allen, 1939). Toschi (1951) was in agreement with Cabrera and Allen and assigned specimens from the Tripolitanian Gebel to E. m. munbyanus. Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951) included all dormice of the genus Eliomys, exclusive of Eliomys melanurus (Wagner) of Egypt and the Middle East, as a single species, Eliomys quercinus, and regarded E. m. tunetae as a synonym of Eliomys quercinus munbyanus. Toschi (1954) and Setzer (1957), although they examined no actual specimens, considered the dormice of western Tripolitania to represent E. q. munbyanus. The systematica of the dormice of Cyrenaica have undergone less confusion in the literature. Specimens from Gheminez were originally described as a full species, Eliomys cyrenaicus (Festa, 1921). Later E. cyrenaicus was relegated to subspecific rank under Eliomys lerotinus.
