SPECIES Crocidura tenuis
Author: | Müller, 1840. | Citation: | In Temminck, Verh. Nat. Gesch. Nederland Overz. Bezitt., Zool., Zoogd. Indisch. Archipel: 26, 50. | Common Name: | Timor Shrew | Type Locality: | Timor. | Distribution: | Timor (Indonesia). | Status: | IUCN – Vulnerable. | Comments: | Jenkins (1982:273) considered conspecificy of tenuis with fuliginosa but stated that present evidence is not sufficient. Hutterer (1993a) and Ruedi (1995) retained it as a separate species. In case of conspecificy with fuliginosa, tenuis would be the earliest name for the group. |
