SPECIES Crocidura parvipes
| Author: | Osgood, 1910. | | Citation: | Field Mus. Nat. Hist. Publ., Zool. Ser., 10: 19. | | Common Name: | Small-footed Shrew | | Type Locality: | Kenya, "Voi, British East Africa". | | Distribution: | Africa; Guinea and Sudan savanna from Cameroon to S Sudan, Ethiopia (Hutterer and Yalden, 1990), Kenya, Tanzania, S Dem. Rep. Congo, Zambia to Angola (Hutterer, 1986a:31). | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | A cranially and externally distinct group of medium-sized savanna shrews. Included in subgenus Afrosorex by Hutterer (1986a). Considerable size variation, however, may indicate that more than one species is included. Karyotypes from Ethiopia (2n = 50; Bannikova et al., 2001b) and from Cameroon (2n = 52, FN = 66; Schlitter et al., 1999) are different. Specimens recorded as Crocidura butleri percivali from Machakos, Kenya (Harrison and Bates, 1986) represent C. parvipes. |
