Abstract

A new subspecies of Genetta servalina is described based on the first and only specimen of genet collected in 1995 on the Island of Zanzibar, Tanzania. The skin and skull of G. servalina archeri were compared with those of other known G. servalina subspecies from continental Africa and differences were noted.
