SPECIES Crocidura elongata
Author: | Miller and Hollister, 1921. | Citation: | Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 34: 101. | Common Name: | Elongated Shrew | Type Locality: | Indonesia, Sulawesi, Temboan (SW from Tondano Lake). | Distribution: | N and C Sulawesi. | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | Comments: | See Musser (1987a) for ecological notes and a photograph. Ruedi and Vogel (1995) described two different karyotypes: 2n = 30, FN = 56 for a male from lowland forest, and 2n = 34, FN = 60 for a smaller female from montane forest. Ruedi (1995) suggested that one of the specimens may represent a cryptic new species. |
