In the monograph of Dippenaar & Meester (1989) which we mostly follow for this group, selina was regarded as a unique forest species found only in Uganda, and sometimes occurring with luna. In her analysis of morphological details, McLellan agreed in part with classification by Balsac & Meester (1977) placing selina as the subspecies of luna in this area. Contemporary versions seem to agree that fumosa is a distict form not in Uganda. Fig. 65 displays the Ugandan distribution. Western. Kibanda (BMNH, Dippenaar & Meester 1989). Central.

One of many characteristic montane small mammals to be recognized early from the BMNH ex- peditions to Ruwenzori. At first thought to be re- stricted to Ruwenzori, but currently reported from elevated locations in E and NE Uganda, S Sudan, SW Kenya, and Kilimanjaro foothills. This species was li- sted in error for BINP by Kasangaki et al. (2003). Fig. 62 displays the Ugandan distribution. Western. Mubuku Valley 3810 m (BMNH
