Subspecies Soriculus nigrescens subsp. minor Dobson 1890

Distribution: Middle altitudes of the Himalaya from Tibet and Nepal to Bhutan, Assam ( India) and SW China.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: The form radulus is distinctly smaller ( Hoffmann, 1985 b), however, Motokawa (2003 a) has shown that minor antedates radulus and should be used as the valid name for the small form (or species) occurring in Bhutan and Assam. For synonyms see Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951).
