Description
Heliophobius argenteocinereus Peters, 1846. Bericht Verhandl. K. Preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 11:259.
TYPE LOCALITY: Mozambique, Tete (on the Zambezi River).

COMMENTS: Honeycutt et al. (1991:54-55) concluded that the characters used to separate H. spalax from H. argenteocinereus are due to age variation, and that the genus is monotypic. See also de Graaff (1975:2). The chromosome no. is 2n=60.
