Acomys mullah Thomas, 1904. Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 14:103. TYPE LOCALITY: Ethiopia. DISTRIBUTION: Ethiopia and Somalia; limits unknown. SYNONYMS: brockmani. COMMENTS: Subgenus Acomys. Petter (1983) recognized brockmani as a valid species, suggesting it might be referable to mullah, which is the older name. These two forms are characterized by large molar rows, also diagnostic of lowei, which Petter implicitly associated with both mullah and brockmani as species. Ellerman (1941) also recognized mullah and brockmani as species, but Setzer (1975) arranged lowei as a subspecies of A. cahirinus, Dieterlen (in litt.) treated it as a synonym of A. cineraceus, and Setzer (1975) treated mullah and brockmani as subspecies of A. dimidiatus . Yalden et al. (1976) listed mullah as a synonym of A. cahirinus.
