Crocidura horsfieldii Tomes 1856 View in CoL , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 2, 17: 23.

Type Locality: Sri Lanka.

Vernacular Names: Horsfield's Shrew.

Synonyms: Crocidura myoides Blanford 1875 ; Crocidura retusa Peters 1870 .

Distribution: Sri Lanka and Indian Peninsula (Mysore and Ladak), perhaps Nepal (see below).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Subspecies or synonyms discussed by Jenkins (1976) and Jameson and Jones (1977). Usually spelled horsfieldi but Corbet and Hill (1991) correctly used horsfieldii . Formerly also included indochinensis and wuchihensis , but see under those species. Formerly included also kurodai and tadae from Taiwan, but they show a karyotype (2n = 40, FN = 54; Fang et al., 1997) different from [ horsfieldii ] indochinensis (2n = 38, FN = 48; Rao and Aswathanarayana, 1978). Here they are both included in rapax . The distribution of horsfieldii sensu strictu is still a matter of disagreement. Lunde et al. (2003 b) restricted its distribution to Sri Lanka and adjacent peninsular India.
