GENUS Episoriculus

Author:Ellermann and Morrison-Scott, 1966.
Citation:Checklist of Palaearctic and Indian Mammals 1758 to 1946, second ed.: 56.
Type Species:Sorex caudatus Horsfield, 1851.
Comments:Described as a subgenus of Soriculus and often included in that genus (Hoffmann, 1985b). Hutterer (1994b) presented evidence that Soriculus, Episoriculus and Chodsigoa are not closely related to each other, and that Pleistocene and Pliocene shrews from Europe referred to Episoriculus by many authors (e.g., Rzebik-Kowalska, 1981) belong to the extinct genus Asoriculus, a conclusion widely accepted by paleontologists (Reumer, 1998; Rzebik-Kowalska, 2002).
