“…Hoffmann [7], Motokawa and Lin [13] pointed out that P. fumidus has a unique morphology. Abramov et al [2] erected the new genus Pseudosoriculus for the species. Our analysis also supported new classification status of Pseudosoriculus, and confirmed that P. fumidus does not belong to genus Episoriculus.…”

Shrews in the genus Episoriculus are among the least known mammals in China. It occurs mainly in the Himalayas and the Hengduan Mountains. We report the sequencing and analyses of one mitochondrial gene (Cytb) and three nuclear genes (Apob, Brca1, and Rag2) for 77 specimens, and analyses of morphological measurements for 56 specimens. Phylogenetic and morphological studies answer three longstanding questions. First, Episoriculus sacratus and E. umbrinus are valid species, and not subspecies of E. caudatus. Second, Pseudosoriculus fumidus is a valid taxon that does not belong to the genus Episoriculus. Third, the genus Episoriculus has eight valid species: E. baileyi, E. caudatus, E. leucops, E. macrurus, E. sacratus, E. soluensis, Episoriculus sp., and E. umbrinus. Ultimately, we erected subgenus Longacauda subgen. nov. for morphologically distinct E. macrurus, which leaves the nominate subgenus Episoriculus with the remaining seven congeners.

“…We sequenced the complete mitochondrial cytochrome b ( cytb ) gene and fragments of four nuclear loci: apolipoprotein B ( ApoB ), exon 11 of the breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein ( BRCA1 ), recombination activating gene 2 ( RAG2 ), and the interphotoreceptor retinoid binding photoreceptor ( IRBP ). Primers and polymerase chain reaction protocols for nuclear loci ( ApoB , BRCA1 , IRBP and RAG2 ) are described in Abramov et al (2017a) and Bannikova et al (2018). New primers were designed specifically for amplification and sequencing the complete cytb gene and its short fragments from the historical museum specimen, the holotype of B. griselda (Suppl.…”

The first genetic study of the holotype of the Gansu short-tailed shrew, Blarinella griselda Thomas, 1912, is presented. The mitochondrial analysis demonstrated that the type specimen of B. griselda is close to several recently collected specimens from southern Gansu, northern Sichuan and Shaanxi, which are highly distinct from the two species of Asiatic short-tailed shrews of southern Sichuan, Yunnan, and Vietnam, B. quadraticauda and B. wardi. Our analysis of four nuclear genes supported the placement of B. griselda as sister to B. quadraticauda / B. wardi, with the level of divergence between these two clades corresponding to that among genera of Soricinae. A new generic name, Parablarinella, is proposed for the Gansu short-tailed shrew. Karyotypes of Parablarinella griselda (2n = 49, NFa = 50) and B. quadraticauda (2n = 49, NFa = 62) from southern Gansu are described. The tribal affinities of Blarinellini and Blarinini are discussed.

Evolutionary history of the genus Sorex (Soricidae, Eulipotyphla) as inferred from multigene data

et al. 2018

The genus Sorex is one of the most diverse and ecologically successful lineages of the family Soricidae. We present the first multilocus nuclear phylogeny focusing on the nominal subgenus Sorex s.str., which is distributed mainly in the northern Palearctic. The nuclear tree (six exons) provides more resolution than the mitochondrial data (cytb) and supports subdivision into eight species groups within Sorex s.str., most of which correspond to those recognized from chromosome data. The European species S. alpinus is consistently placed as the basal lineage in the Palearctic clade, while the next split separates the east‐Tibetan group of striped shrews (S. aff. cylindricauda, S. bedfordiae, S. excelsus). Within the remaining species, the following well‐supported clades are identified at the supra‐group level: “araneus” species group+S. samniticus; the “caecutiens” group+the “minutus” group, the latter also including S. minutissimus, S. gracillimus and S. thibetanus. S. raddei and S. roboratus represent separate lineages with no close relatives. The fossil‐calibrated molecular clock placed the divergence between Sorex s.str. and Otisorex at the Early/Middle Miocene boundary. Basal radiation of the crown Sorex s.str. was estimated to have occurred in the middle of the Late Miocene. A more than threefold increase in the diversification rate is inferred for the Early Pliocene. Taxonomic implications including potential genus ranks for Sorex s.str. and Otisorex are discussed. S. alpinus is placed in the monotypic subgenus Homalurus. The full species status of S. buchariensis and S. thibetanus and close relationships between S. cf. cansulus and S. caecutiens are confirmed.
