Sorex sadonis Yoshiyuki and Imaizumi, 1986 . Bull. Natl. Sei. Mus. Tokyo, ser. A (Zool.), 12: 185.

TYPE LOCALITY: Japan, "Ikari, Sawada-machi, Sado-gun, Sado Island, alt. 20m " .

DISTRIBUTION: Sado Isl (Japan).

COMMENTS: Subgenus presumably Sorex; Yoshiyuki and Imaizumi (1986) assigned the species to "the caecutiens-arcticus section of the minutus group." It thus resembles the taxa annexus, cansulus, and shinto of E Asia; see comments under caecutiens .
