Crocidura malayana Robinson and Kloss, 1911 . J. Fed. Malay St. Mus., 4:241 -247.

TYPE LOCALITY: Malaysia, Perak, Maxwell's Hill .

COMMENTS: This species was included in /uliginosa by Jenkins (1976, 1982), but Ruedi et al. (1990) reported two different karyotypes from sympatric populations in Peninsular Malaysia. They provisionally used malayana for the sibling species. Jenkins (1976, 1982), who revised this group, listed the synonyms given here under subspecies /uliginosa malayana . The proper allocation of all described names has still to be elaborated; other synonyms are listed under /uliginosa.
