| Description | Original description, according to the source, p. 76: "Figure 3.C [...] (Bottom) The Hottentot golden mole is generally thought of as widespread across southeastern South Africa but may in fact consist of several undescribed cryptic and potentially threatened species. Photograph by Samantha Mynhardt, CC BY 4.0." Context in the source, page 74f: "To remedy the dearth in knowledge on two endemic South African golden mole species, we analysed molecular data of individuals collected across the entire distribution range of both Juliana’s golden mole (Neamblysomus julianae, EN) and Hottentot golden mole (Amblysomus hottentotus, LC) (Figure 3.B). In contrast to the widespread Hottentot golden mole, the Juliana’s golden mole counts among South Africa’s most imperilled mammals and is known from only three range-restricted, geographically isolated populations (Maree, 2015, Maree et al., 2016; Maree, 2017; Taylor et al., 2018). These three populations, together covering less than 160 km2 occur in southeastern Pretoria (Gauteng population), the district of Modimolle (Limpopo, ~ 120 km north of Pretoria), and in southwestern Kruger National Park (Mpumalanga, ~ 400 km east of Pretoria) (Figure 3.C)." |
