SPECIES Crocidura tanakae
Author: | Kuroda, 1938. | Citation: | A list of the Japanese mammals: 81. | Common Name: | Taiwanese Gray Shrew | Type Locality: | C Taiwan, Taichusiu, Horigai, Shohosha. | Distribution: | Taiwan, from sea level up to 2,200 m (Fang et al., 1997). | Comments: | Originally described as a species, C. tanakae was subsequently sunk into synonymy of C. attenuata (Fang et al., 1997). Differences in the karyotype (Motokawa et al., 1997, 2001b) led to a renewed recognition of the species (Fang and Lee, 2002). |
