GENUS Congosorex

Author:Heim de Balsac and Lamotte, 1956.
Citation:Mammalia, 20: 167.
Type Species:Myosorex polli Heim de Balsac and Lamotte, 1956.
Comments:Described as a subgenus of Myosorex by Heim de Balsac and Lamotte (1956), but differs in its tooth formula and was therefore treated as a full genus by Heim de Balsac (1967), Hutterer (1993a), and Hutterer et al. (2002b). Genetically, Congosorex is the sister taxon of Myosorex (Querouil et al., 2001). Reviewed by Hutterer et al. (2002b).
