Coll., 56(15): 3. | Common Name: | Ugandan Musk Shrew | Type Locality: | Uganda, Kampala. | Distribution: | Uganda; perhaps more widely distributed. | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | Comments: | A large species, alternatively assigned to hirta (Allen, 1939) or suahelae (Heim de Balsac and Meester, 1977).
