Recognized D.b. somaliensis for specimens from northern Kenya. Synonyms
1900 Rhinoceros bicornis somaliensis Potocki, Sport in Somaliland, p.82 (Ogaden, Abyssinia)
1914 Diceros bicornis somaliensis Roosevelt and Heller, Life Hist African Game Anim., vol. 2, p. 656
Not all the specimens from the Northern Guaso Nyero region are typical of somaliensis, but the series as a whole seems best referred to that race rather than to the subspecies holmwoodi of the region from Mount Kenya southwards in British and German East Africa.
