discussion
COMMENTS: Subgenus Progerbillurus. Meester et al. (1986) and Skinner and Smithers (1990) summarized South African taxonomy and distribution; Griffin (1990) reviewed Namibian populations. Based on analyses of chromosomal data, Qumsiyeh (1986) hypothesized that G. paeba and G. vallinus evolved from a common ancestor.
