GENUS Scutisorex
| Author: | Thomas, 1913. | | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 11: 321. | | Type Species: | Sylvisorex somereni Thomas, 1910. | | Comments: | For placement in Crocidurinae see Repenning (1967:15). Genetic data place Scutisorex next to Sylvisorex (Querouil et al., 2001). The unique vertebrate column (Ahmed and Klima, 1978) and a characteristic skull roof distinguish the genus, however. |
