SPECIES Crocidura maxi
| Author: | Sody, 1936. | | Citation: | Natuurk. Tijdschr. Ned.-Ind., 96: 53. | | Common Name: | Javanese Shrew | | Type Locality: | Indonesia, Java, East Java. | | Distribution: | Java, Lesser Sunda Isls (Bali, Sumbawa, Komodo, Sumba, Flores, Alor, Roti, Timor), and Ambon (Moluccas, Indonesia). | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | Occurs sympatrically with monticola in Java; see Jenkins (1982) and Kitchener et al. (1994a). Ruedi (1995) questioned the validity of maxi but stated (p. 243) that "Eastern representatives, which are usually larger, with a flatter skull profile than nominal and central forms, could be treated as a distinct subspecies, C. monticola maxi." |
