GENUS Cryptotis
| Author: | Pomel, 1848. | | Citation: | Arch. Sci. Phys. Nat. Geneve, 9: 249. | | Type Species: | Sorex cinereus Bachman, 1837 (= Sorex parvus Say, 1823). | | Comments: | See Repenning (1967:37) and Reumer (1998:19) for placement in Blarinini. North and Central American species revised in part by Choate (1970) and Choate and Fleharty (1974); Central and South American species revised by Woodman (1996, 2002, 2003), Woodman and Timm (1993, 1999, 2000), and Vivar et al. (1997). Gureev (1979:433-437) listed many species that Choate (1970) considered synonyms. Formerly included C. surinamensis which was transferred to Sorex araneus by Husson (1963). Woodman (1993) argued that Cryptotis is feminine in gender, a conclusion followed here. |
