SPECIES Crocidura maurisca
Author: | Thomas, 1904. | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 14: 239. | Common Name: | Gracile Naked-tailed Shrew | Type Locality: | Uganda, Entebbe. | Distribution: | Swamps and primary forest in Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi; a single record from Gabon. | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | Comments: | Part of the C. maurisca-littoralis species group; the extinct balsamifera from Ancient Egypt is probably related (Hutterer, 1994). A record from Gabon (Goodman et al., 2001a) is far outside of the known range of the species. |
