Berlin, 1870: 584. | | Common Name: | Peters's Musk Shrew | | Type Locality: | "Auf der Reise nach dem Kilimandscharo"; unidentifiable but usually taken as "Kilimanjaro, Tanzania"; see Moreau et al. (1946:395). | | Distribution: | Known only from the type specimen with unknown origin. | | Status: | IUCN – Critically Endangered. | | Comments: | Does not include hildegardeae; see Demeter and Hutterer (1986:201).
