SPECIES Crocidura poensis

Author:Fraser, 1842.
Actual Date:1843
Citation:Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1842: 200.
Common Name:Fraser's Musk Shrew
Type Locality:Equatorial Guinea, Bioko (Fernando Po), Clarence.
Distribution:West Africa (Guinea to Cameroon), Bioko, and Principe Isl.
Status:IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Comments:The definition of this large black shrew is still problematic. The karyotype (2n = 52, 53, FN = 70, 72) is only known from the Côte d’Ivoire population (pamela) (Meylan and Vogel, 1982), but not from the type locality. For synonyms see Heim de Balsac and Meester (1977) and Hutterer and Happold (1983).
