Mole-rats from Karonga, Malawi, the type locality ofCryptomys hottentotus whytei, and a single female mole-rat from the Malawian Nyika Plateau exhibit a karyotype 2n = 4 6 chromosomes, wit h 1 5 metacentr ic an d 8 acrocentr ic chromosome, s ie NF (female) = 76. This trait, together with several morphological features and a previously published genetic analysis (Ingramet al. 2004), identifies this species as a good species, unrelated toCryptomys hottentotus of South Africa, which belongs to the Zambezian clade of the genusCryptomys sensu lato (cf Ingramet al. 2004) and should be therefore called Whyte’s mole-rat,Cryptomys whytei.
