SPECIES Condylura cristata
| Author: | Linnaeus, 1758. | | Citation: | Syst. Nat., 10th ed., 1: 53. | | Common Name: | Star-nosed Mole | | Type Locality: | USA, Pennsylvania. | | Distribution: | Georgia and NW South Carolina (USA) to Nova Scotia and Labrador (Canada); Great Lakes region to SE Manitoba. | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | Reviewed by Peterson and Yates (1980, Mammalian Species No. 129) who included parva as a subspecies. However, Hartman (in Wilson and Ruff, 1999) stated that nigra is a synonym of parva, in which case nigra has priority. Karyotype has 2n=34, FN = 64 (Yates and Schmidly, 1975). |
