Taterillus

Taterillus is a genus of gerbils. The species within this genus can only be reliably distinguished on the basis of karyotype, and not by external appearance.

The genus contains the following species:

  • Robbins's tateril (Taterillus arenarius)
  • Congo gerbil (Taterillus congicus)
  • Emin's gerbil (Taterillus emini)
  • Gracile tateril (Taterillus gracilis)
  • Harrington's gerbil (Taterillus harringtoni) – doubtfully distinct from T. emini, which has the same chromosome count.
  • Lake Chad gerbil (Taterillus lacustris)
  • Petter's gerbil (Taterillus petteri)
  • Senegal gerbil (Taterillus pygargus)
  • Tranieri's tateril (Taterillus tranieri)
