Discussion: Described as a subgenus of Myosorex by Heim de Balsac and Lamotte (1956), but differs in its tooth formula and was therefore treated as a full genus by Heim de Balsac (1967), Hutterer (1993 a), and Hutterer et al. (2002 b). Genetically, Congosorex is the sister taxon of Myosorex (Querouil et al., 2001) . Reviewed by Hutterer et al. (2002 b).
