| Author: | Jenkins and Smith, 1995. | | Citation: | Bull. Nat. Hist. Mus. Lond. (Zool.), 61: 103. | | Common Name: | Hill's Shrew | | Type Locality: | NE Thailand, Loei Province, 48 km S Loei, Ban Nong Hin, Wat Tham Maho Lan, 17°06'N, 101°53'E, 575 m. | | Distribution: | NE and C Thailand, Laos. | | Comments: | A shrew somewhat smaller than C. fuliginosa described on the basis of skulls removed from owl pellets (Jenkins and Smith, 1995; Smith et al., 2000). Also recorded from Laos (Smith et al., 1998). Motokawa and Harada (1998) described the animal and its karyotype (2n = 50, NF = 60). This karyotype is similar to that of "C. attenuata" from Thailand (2n = 50, FN = 66), as published by Tsuchiya et al. (1979). |
