Crocidura monax Thomas 1910 View in CoL

Crocidura monax Thomas 1910 View in CoL , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 6: 310.

Type Locality: Tanzania, Mt. Kilimanjaro, Rombo, 6,000 ft. (1829 m).

Vernacular Names: Kilimanjaro Shrew.

Distribution: Montane forests in N Tanzania and possibly W Kenya.

Conservation: IUCN – Vulnerable.

Discussion: Part of the the littoralis group; see Dieterlen and Heim de Balsac (1979). Does not includes oritis (part of littoralis ) and ultima (treated as full species here) as suggested by Heim de Balsac and Meester (1977). The real distribution of C. monax is unknown; Jenkins (in Burgess et al., 2000) restricted monax to the type locality, while Stanley et al. (2000 b) listed it from a number of mountains in N Tanzania. Dollman (1914) recorded the species from W Kenya, but these records need to be confirmed.
