SPECIES Sorex (Otisorex) milleri
| Author: | Jackson, 1947. | | Citation: | Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 60: 131. | | Common Name: | Carmen Mountain Shrew | | Type Locality: | "Madera Camp, altitude 8,000 feet [2438 m], Carmen Mountains, Coahuila, Mexico". | | Distribution: | Restricted to the Sierra Madre Oriental of Coahuila and Nuevo Leon, Mexico. | | Status: | IUCN – Vulnerable. | | Comments: | Subgenus Otisorex. Controversial opinions on the systematic status of milleri exist; Findley (1955a) regarded it as a morphologically distinct relict population allied to cinereus and accepted its specific status, as did Hall (1981) and Junge and Hoffmann (1981); while van Zyll de Jong and Kirkland (1989) suggested that milleri may not merit full specific status. |
