SPECIES Crocidura hirta
| Author: | Peters, 1852. | | Citation: | Reise nach Mossambique, SSugethiere: 78. | | Common Name: | Lesser Red Musk Shrew | | Type Locality: | Mozambique, Tette, 17°S. | | Distribution: | Angola, Dem. Rep. Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Somalia, Tanzania, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa. | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | Gureev (1979) listed beirae and deserti as distinct species; the latter may well be separable. C. bloyeti, formerly listed as a species, is included here because it was based on a juvenile hirta. The Angolan erica may also belong here. The karyotype of hirta (2n = 50, FN = 66) is shared by olivieri, viaria, greenwoodi, and attila (Schlitter et al., 1999). For synonyms see Heim de Balsac and Meester (1977). |
