SPECIES Crocidura attenuata
| Author: | Milne-Edwards, 1872. | | Citation: | Rech. Hist. Nat. Mamm.: 263. | | Common Name: | Asian Gray Shrew | | Type Locality: | China, Szechuan, Moupin (= Sichuan, Baoxing). | | Distribution: | Assam, Sikkim (India), Nepal, Bhutan, Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, Peninsular Malaysia, S China; a doubtful record from Batan Isl (Philippines). | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | Reviewed by Heaney and Timm (1983b), Jenkins (1976), and Jiang and Hoffmann (2001:1069, Fig. 7), who included tanakae, which is now elevated to species level. Jenkins (1982) and Corbet and Hill (1992) included the long-tailed aequicaudata, but see under C. paradoxura. Motokawa et al. (2001b) contrasted the karyotype of Chinese mainland attenuata (2n = 35-38, FN = 54) against the karyotype of Taiwanese tanakae (2n = 40, FN = 56) and suggested species status for the latter. A karyotype from Thailand identified as attenuata (Tsuchiya et al., 1979) with 2n = 50 was probably based on a misidentification; it probably represented C. hilliana. |
