Comments: The BMNH London holds spines of a specimen (no. 1908.12.14.1) listed as the holotype of Erinaceus tschifuensis Matschie, 1907 in the online list of mammal type specimens mentioned above. However, in the original description (Matschie 1907), ZMB 4625 is clearly designated as the holotype, and is so recognized here.
