Mackilligin's gerbil, Dipodillus mackilligini, also called Mackilligin's dipodil, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It occurs in the southeastern deserts of Egypt and Sudan, around the area of the Halaib Triangle. It was long grouped with another small gerbil, Dipodillus nanus, but it is now considered specifically distinct. The sources read for this entry give its distribution and its taxonomic status and say little about its appearance, diet or behaviour, so nothing further is claimed here. The group is covered in the Mammal Species of the World treatment of the superfamily Muroidea by Musser and Carleton, which the Wikipedia article cites as its taxonomic reference.
