Author: | Matschie, 1895. | Citation: | SSugethiere Deutsch-Ost-Afrikas: 33. | Common Name: | African Black Shrew | Type Locality: | Dem. Rep. Congo, Semliki Valley, "Wukalala, Kinyawanga im Westen des Semliki". | Distribution: | S Ethiopia and Sudan through E Africa to Zambia and Angola, Dem. Rep. Congo, perhaps Cameroon. | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | Comments: | Includes luluae Matschie, 1926 (Luluabourg, Dem. Rep.

The holotypes of nigrofusca, luluae, and zaodon have been studied. Gureev (1979) listed ansorgei, nilotica, and zena as distinct species without comment. The species requires a careful systematic revision.For synonyms see Heim de Balsac and Meester (1977). |
