Both are African, but only one is *called* africana. The one with rounded ears 
is called cyclotis. So "lo sa'orselde'i voi friko" identifies one 
species, "lo sa'orselde'i voi cukla se kerlo" and "lo sa'orselde'i poi cukla 
se kerlo" identify the other, and "lo sa'orselde'i poi friko" is no more 
specific than "lo sa'orselde'i".
