SPECIES Solenodon paradoxus
| Author: | Brandt, 1833. | | Citation: | Mem. Acad. Imp. Sci., St. Petersbourg, ser. 6, 2: 459. | | Common Name: | Hispaniolan Solenodon | | Type Locality: | Dominican Republic (Hispaniola), Port-au-Prince (Baranova et al., 1981:4). | | Distribution: | S Haiti and Dominican Republic (Hispaniola). | | Status: | U.S. ESA – Endangered; IUCN – Endangered. | | Comments: | Systematics, biogeography and ecology reviewed by Ottenwalder (1999, 2001) who also described a distinctly smaller form from S Hispaniola as subspecies woodi. Allard et al. (2001) found a considerable genetic variability in the mitochondrial control region in samples from Hispaniola which may correspond to the morphological variation recognized by Ottenwalder (2001). |
