GENUS Diplomesodon

Author:Brandt, 1852.
Citation:Beitr. Kenntn. Russ. Reiches, 17: 299.
Type Species:Sorex pulchellus Lichtenstein, 1823.
Comments:For placement in Crocidurinae see Repenning (1967:15). A study of protein evolution (Maddalena, in Ruedi, 1998) showed that Diplomesodon is closely related to Crocidura. Repenning (1965) named a species from the Pleistocene of South Africa in this genus which, however, does not belong here (Butler, 1998).
