“…Comparisons are made between Taiwanese C. attenuuta and its conspecific from Vietnam (Heaney & Timm, 1983), the Philippines (Heaney & Ruedi, 1994) and other Indomalayan regions (Jenkins, 1976). Its external morphology is similar to that of Crocidura attenuata from Vietnam.…”

With 3 plates and 2 figures in the text)We define the species boundaries of white-toothed shrews (genus Crocidura) in Taiwan using karyological and morphological characteristics. Ninety-nine animals were obtained from all over Taiwan at capture rates usually less than 10%. Three species are recognized by distinct cytotypes:Crociduru uttenuata tanakae 2n = 40, FN = 56; Crocidura suaveolens hoslefti 2n = 40, FN = 50; Crocidura kurodai 2n = 40, FN = 54. A suite of six morphological characters diagnose the three species: shape of skull, position of incisive foramina, shape of fourth upper premolar, shape of pinna, tail vibrissae, and foot pads. A species key and notes on the life history of each species are provided. Finally, we discuss chromosomal evolution and biogeography of Crociduru in East and South East Asia.

“…This species was regarded as a subspecies of Crocidura horsfieldii (Jenkins, 1976;Heaney & Timm, 1983;Jiang & Hoffmann, 2001). It was recognized as a distinct species by Van Peenen et al (1969), Hutterer (2005), and Jenkins et al (2009).…”

ABSTRACT. Field surveys within the Bi Doup Nui Ba National Park located in north-east part of the Dalat Plateau (Lam Dong Province, southern Vietnam), from 2002 to 2009, have allowed us to document the local presence of 36 species of small mammals. These include one tree shrew (Tupaiidae), one mole (Talpidae), three shrews (Soricidae), two roundleaf bats (Hipposideridae), two horseshoe bats (Rhinolophidae), eight evening bats (Vespertilionidae), one bent-winged bat (Miniopteridae), six squirrels (Sciuridae), ten mice and rats (Muridae), one bamboo rat (Spalacidae) and one porcupine (Hystricidae). Thus, though because of climatic features the bat fauna is relatively deplete, the Dalat Plateau on the whole has one of the most diverse mammalian faunas in southern Vietnam.

“…C. pergrisea (type locality in Kashmir) is larger, with its condylobasal length being at least 19.0 mm (Hassinger 1973;Jenkins 1976;see Table 1). C. susiana (type locality in Khuzestan, northwestern Iran) is rather large, its condylobasal length exceeds 20.5 mm, and the tail is not bicolored (Redding and Lay 1978).…”

“…Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951) and Lay (1967) considered Zarudny's rock shrew to be a subspecies of the pale gray shrew (C. pergrisea Miller, 1913). However, later authors who studied additional specimens of Middle Eastern white-toothed shrews that also included specimens of C. zarudnyi from Iran, Afganistan, and Pakistan considered C. zarudnyi to be a valid species (e.g., Hassinger 1970Hassinger , 1973Jenkins 1976;Kryštufek and Vohralík 2001;Spitzenberger 1971). This view also was adopted by Hutterer (1993Hutterer ( , 2005 and Wolsan and Hutterer (1998).…”

We karyotyped and sequenced 1,140 base pairs of the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome b of a specimen of Zarudny's rock shrew (Crocidura zarudnyi) from Baluchestan, southeastern Iran, to clarify its cytogenetic and molecular relationships with other Eurasian species of Crocidura. According to the karyotype (2N ¼ 40, FN ¼ 50), Zarudny's rock shrew belongs to the group of the lesser white-toothed shrew (C. suaveolens), which is different from other known crocidurine karyotypes, considering the combination of the diploid and fundamental number of chromosomes. Molecular results revealed that C. zarudnyi is included in a monophyletic clade with the C. suaveolens group, where it is a sister taxon to the others (mean Kimura 2-parameter distance ¼ 9.7%).
