Damara Mole-rat
Fukomys damarensis
French: Bathyergue de Damara / German: Damara-Graumull / Spanish: Rata topo de Damara
Other common names: Botswanan Mole-rat, Damara Mole Rat, Damaraland Blesmol
Taxonomy. Bathyergus damarensis Ogilby, 1838,
Damaraland, Namibia.
This species is monotypic.
Distribution. S Angola, S Zambia, E Namibia, most of Botswana, W Zimbabwe, and NW South Africa (Northern Cape).
Descriptive notes. Head-body 169-9-178-7 mm (males) and 155-2-163 mm (females), tail 23-6-24-4 mm (males) and 21-5-22-5 mm (females); weight 119-8-210-2 g (males) and 113-6-169-4 g (females). The Damara Mole-rat is medium-sized, with short legs, cylindrical body, short tail, and vibrissae on tail and feet. Dorsal pelage is dark brown to black; large head has white head spot. Chromosomal complement is 2n = 74 or 78, FN = 92.
Habitat. Open sandy soils in semiarid thornscrub, savanna, and grassland areas.
Food and Feeding. The Damara Mole-rat is herbivorous and eats geophytes, tubers, and bulbs; it does not drink standing water.
Breeding. Breeding of the Damara Mole-rat is aseasonal. Gestation is 78-92 days;litter size averages three young (range 1-6), with up to three litters per year. Sex ratio is skewed toward males.
Activity patterns. The Damara Mole-rat burrows and digs with upper incisors. It is most active after rainfall and has a circadian rhythm.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. Non-reproductive and unrelated Damara Mole-rats in a colony disperse. Home range averages 1-3 ha. Colonies of Damara Mole-rats are eusocial, with a single breeding female and 1-2 breeding males, overlapping generations, and non-reproductive individuals. Offspring are cared for cooperatively, and non-reproductive individuals forage, defend burrow systems, and care of young. Reproductive female suppresses ovulation of other females. There is widespread multiple paternity and unrelated immigrants in colony; colony size averages eleven individuals (range 2-14); and sex ratio is male-biased.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List.

Lysitermoides compsolechiae (Watanabe, 1970) (= Oncophanes striatus Belokobylskij) – 1 f (det. Belokobylskij 2011; Clinocentrus gracilipes Thomson det. Papp 1991): No. 944. – The genus Lysitermoides was described by VAN ACHTERBERG (1995) based on two species: L. huggerti van Achterberg and L. transversus van Achterberg taken in the USA (Maryland and Florida, respectively). The species L. compsolechiae was described from Japan originally in the genus Oncophanes (WATANABE 1970: 124). Reported from Korea and Asiatic Russia: Far East by BELOKOBYLSKIJ (2004: 113, in key).

description: Xiruana Brescovit, 1997
Xiruana Brescovit, 1997: 102 (type species by original designation: Aysha gracilipes Keyserling, 1891).
Diagnosis. Xiruana differs from other Anyphaeninae genera by a combination of the following characters: tracheal spiracle close to the epigastric furrow (Figs 1 B, D), male palp with bifid retrolateral tibial apophysis (Figs 2 E, F), conductor of Anyphaeninae furrowed longitudinally (Figs 2 A, B); female epigynum with large median septum, with lateral borders strongly concave and sclerotized (Fig. 2 G).
Description. See description in Brescovit (1997: 102–104). The following characters are included: carapace sub-rectangular and enlarged near coxae III–IV, with short thoracic furrow (Figs 1 A, C). Chelicerae slightly projected, approximately half-the length of the carapace, basal condyle conspicuous, with 3–5 promarginal teeth and 4–5 retromarginal denticles (Fig. 4 A). One row of trichobothria (Figs 4 C, D) on metatarsi I–IV and two rows on tarsi I–IV. Paired tarsal claws with 6–7 teeth (Figs 4 E, F). Male palp: patellar apophysis short and rounded (Figs 2 D–F); median tibial apophysis short and usually triangular (Figs 2 D–F); tibia with retrolateral tibial apophysis bifid distally, with anterior branch narrow and long and posterior branch short and conical (Figs 2 D–F); conductor of Anyphaeninae with or without retrolateral keel and with longitudinal furrow (Figs 2 A, B; 3A, B); ventral tegular process short and hyaline (Figs 2 A, B). Female epigynum: epigynal plate with anterior border usually shorter than posterior border (Fig. 2 G).

Aysha fulvicepes [sic]: Bonnet, 1955: 837.
Xiruana gracilipes: Brescovit, 1997: 104, figs 274–282.
Diagnosis. Males of Xiruana gracilipes resemble those of X. hirsuta by the conical extremities of the branches of the retrolateral tibial apophysis and the subtriangular median tibial apophysis, but differ from this species by the conductor of Anyphaeninae narrow and curved at the apex, without retrolateral projection, and by the long extremities of the branches of the retrolateral tibial apophysis (Fig. 2 A). Females resemble X. cocha n. sp. by the shape of the epigynal plate (Fig. 14 C), but differ by the larger posterior border and internally by the thicker copulatory ducts and seminal receptacles with long ducts (Figs 2 G, H).
Description. Male and female described by Brescovit (1997:104).

Etymology. The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
Diagnosis. The females of Xiruana minacu n. sp. differ from all other females in the genus by the sub-square anterior border of the epigynal plate and by the thicker anterior portion of the copulatory ducts (Figs 13 A, B).

Type material. Female holotype from Jardín Botánico, Assunción (25°16’55.91”S; 57°38’6.36”W), Paraguay, K. Fiebrig leg., deposited in ZMB 3748.
Etymology. The specific name is a patronymic in honor of the collector of the holotype. Diagnosis. Females of Xiruana fiebrigi n. sp. resemble those of X. gracilipes and X. cocha n. sp. by the epigynal plate with a triangular posterior border, but differs by the lack of a furrow along the anterior border and by the seminal receptacles inserted near the spermathecae (Figs 13 C–D).

Leg measurements: Leg I—femur 3.9/ patella 1.8/ tibia 4.1/ metatarsus 3.4/ tarsus 1.9/ total 15.1; II—3.7/ 1.6/ 3.5/ 3.1/ 1.2/ 13.1; III—2.9/ 1.2/ 2.0/ 2.4/ 0.9/ 9.4; IV—4.0/ 1.5/ 3.4/ 4.7/ 1.2/ 14.8. Leg spination: I—tibia v2-2 -0, p0, r0, metatarsus v2 -0-0, p0, r0; II—tibia v1-2 -0, p0-0-1, r0, metatarsus v2 -0-0, p0, r0; III—p1-0-1, r1-0-1; IV—tibia p1-1-1, r1-1-1. Abdomen: length 7.5, epigastric furrow 1.3 from tracheal spiracle, spiracle 4.3 from base of spinnerets. Epigynum: copulatory ducts curved anteriorly; fertilization ducts longer than spermathecae width (Figs 13 C–D).
