SPECIES Chimarrogale phaeura
| Author: | Thomas, 1898. | | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 2: 246. | | Common Name: | Bornean Water Shrew | | Type Locality: | Malaysia, Sabah, "Saiap, Mount Kina Balu". | | Distribution: | Streams in tropical forest of island of Borneo (Malaysia and Indonesia). | | Status: | IUCN – Endangered. | | Comments: | Medway (1977) considered phaeura as a subspecies of himalayica but Corbet (1978c) and Jones and Mumford (1971) maintained styani and phaeura as separate species. Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1966:87) included sumatrana in this species, but Gureev (1979:458) listed it as a distinct species, a view followed by Hutterer (1993a). |
