Crocidura elongata Miller and Hollister 1921, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 34: 101.

Type Locality: Indonesia, Sulawesi, Temboan (SW from Tondano Lake).

Vernacular Names: Elongated Shrew.

Distribution: N and C Sulawesi.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: See Musser (1987 a) for ecological notes and a photograph. Ruedi and Vogel (1995) described two different karyotypes: 2n = 30, FN = 56 for a male from lowland forest, and 2n = 34, FN = 60 for a smaller female from montane forest. Ruedi (1995) suggested that one of the specimens may represent a cryptic new species.
