SPECIES Crocidura wuchihensis
| Author: | Wang, 1966. | | Citation: | Acta Zootax. Sin.: 261. | | Common Name: | Hainan Island Shrew | | Type Locality: | China, Hainan Isl, Mt. Wuchih. | | Distribution: | China (Hainan) and Vietnam; limits unknown. | | Comments: | Until recently included in C. horsfieldii (see Jiang and Hoffmann, 2001). However, very small specimens recently collected in Vietnam (Feiler and Ziegler, 1999; Kuznetsov, unpubl.) suggest that further species of Crocidura occur in Indochina. Lunde et al. (2003b) identified one taxon as C. wuchihensis, while a smaller specimen reported by Feiler and Ziegler (1999) may represent another (new) species. |
