discussion
Discussion: Described as a subspecies of orestes and afterwards swept under either O. irroratus (Bohmann, 1952; Petter, 1982) or O. tropicalis (Misonne, 1974; Musser and Carleton, 1993). Hollister (1919) noted dollmani ’ s differentiation from both orestes and tropicalis on Mount Kenya (notably its smaller size, lack of postauricular patches, six-laminated M 3, flatter skull profile, as verified with USNM type series) and long ago elevated it to species. We agree.
