SPECIES Blarinella wardi
Author: | Thomas, 1915. | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 15: 336. | Common Name: | Burmese Short-tailed Shrew | Type Locality: | Burma, "Hpimaw, Upper Burma, about 26°N., 98°35'E. Alt. 8000' [2400 m]." | Distribution: | N Burma and NW Yunnan (China). | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (nt). | Comments: | Included in quadraticauda by Allen (1938), Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951) and subsequent authors, but the species has a much smaller and narrower skull (see measurements in Hoffmann, 1987:134) and was therefore regarded as distinct (Hutterer, 1993a). These differences were also recognized by Corbet (1978c:26) and Lunde et al. (2003b). Revised by Jiang et al. (2003). |
