 Comments
       
  Comment: Status: IUCN - Critically Endangered as Gerbillus quadrimaculatus, Lower Risk (lc) as G. campestris  
    Comments: Subgenus Petteromys. Nineteen species-group names have been associated with D. campestris by different authors in various combinations, as summarized by Lay (1983), who also noted that most opinions lacked supportive evidence and that some of the synonyms are unidentifiable or nomina nuda. Lay (1983) remarked that although most authors followed Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951) in listing quadrimaculatus equivocally under G. nanus, it should be kept separate until a revision is available. ...  
    In Wilson and Reeder (2005) Dipodillus campestris is listed with author citation (Loche, 1867); Loche's publication is a later homonym, and the senior homonym was published by Levaillant, 1857 (see Ellerman 1966: 631 and Trouessart 1897: 463)
