REMARKS
The karyotype of the specimens MNHN-ZM-2022-934 (GBIE-215) and MNHN-ZM-2022-935 (GBIE-230) (2 N =34, NFa =32) is similar to those of other specimens of the same species collected in north-west and south-west Guinea ( Kan Kouassi et al. 2008) ( Appendix 4).
This small mouse is characterized by a tail length shorter than HB and a relatively brown dorsal pelage and a white belly. Our newly collected specimens are smaller than previously collected ones in other parts of Guinea and Côte d’Ivoire. The genetically typed specimens from Guinean and Liberian Nimba display some size differences, especially the HB length and ear length are larger in Liberia ( Table 7 View TABLE ). Mus minutoides is characterized by a small skull size as well as small molar rows and a tiny laminated M3/3 ( Table 8 View TABLE ).
