Suncus malayanus Kloss 1917, J. Nat. Hist. Soc. Siam, 2: 282.

Type Locality: Thailand, "Bang Nara, Patani, Peninsular Siam ".

Vernacular Names: Malayan Pgymy Shrew.

Distribution: Malaysian peninsula.

Conservation: IUCN – Data Deficient.

Discussion: Commonly included in etruscus but inhabits tropical forest and does not fit morphologically with the diagnosis of that species; malayanus was therefore regarded as a species by Corbet and Hill (1991:36), and Hutterer (1993 a).
