SPECIES Myosorex rumpii
Author: | Heim de Balsac, 1968. | Citation: | Bonn. Zool. Beitr., 19: 20. | Common Name: | Rumpi Mouse Shrew | Type Locality: | Cameroon, "Rumpi-Hills, 1100 mètres". | Distribution: | Known only from the type locality. | Status: | IUCN – Critically Endangered. | Comments: | The holotype and only known specimen is so unique (Heim de Balsac, 1968b, fig. 4) that it is considered to represent a valid species. Heim de Balsac (1968b) himself was uncertain about the status of this taxon; while he formally named it M. eisentrauti rumpii, he labeled all figures and the map with "Myosorex rumpii". |
