SPECIES Chodsigoa sodalis
Author: | Thomas, 1913. | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. ?? [check], 11: 217. | Common Name: | Lesser Taiwanese Shrew | Type Locality: | Central Taiwan, Mt. Arizan, 8,000 ft. (2438 m). | Distribution: | Mountains of C Taiwan. | Comments: | Formerly included as a synonym in Episoriculus fumidus (Hoffmann, 1984), but Yu (1994) and Motokawa et al. (1997b, 1998) re-definied C. sodalis and described its characteristical karyotype (2n = 44, FN = 88). Kuroda (1935) already correctly distinguished between Chodsigoa sodalis and Episoriculus fumidus. |
