discussion
COMMENTS: Except for Misonne (1974), who included it in G. dolichurus, buntingi has always been listed or discussed as a species of Grammomys (Allen, 1939; Ellerman, 1941; Hutterer and Dieterlen, 1984; Petter and Trainer, 1975; Rosevear, 1969). Apparently G. buntingi is part of a suite of species endemic to W Africa: Dephomys defua, D. eburnea, Hybomys planifrons, H. trivirgatus, Hylomyscus baeri, Lemniscomys bellieri, Malacomys cansdalei, M. edwardsi, Myomys daltoni, M. derooi, and Praomys rostratus (Carleton and Robbins, 1985; Hutterer and Dieterlen, 1984).
