Blarinella wardi Thomas, 1915 . Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 15:336.

TYPE LOCALITY: "Hpimaw, Upper Burma, about 26°N., 98°35'E. Alt. 8000’."

DISTRIBUTION: Upper Burma and Yunnan (China).

COMMENTS: Included in quadraticauda by Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951) and subsequent authors, but the species has a much smaller and narrower skull (see measurements in Hoffmann, 1987: 134) and is therefore regarded as distinct. Differences were also recognized by Corbet (1978c:26).
