Aberdare Mountains African mole-rat (T. audax)
Demon African mole-rat (T. daemon)
Kenyan African mole-rat (T. ibeanus)

Some authorities place all the species in this genus except T. macrocephalus in one species, the East African mole-rat, in which case T. splendens is used for the entire group. This taxonomy is followed by the IUCN Red List.[2]
