Crocidura minuta Otten, 1917 . Med. Burgerl. Geneesk. Dienst. Ned. Ind., 6:103.

TYPE LOCALITY: Indonesia, Java, East Java .

DISTRIBUTION: Java.

STATUS: Uncertain.

COMMENTS: May be conspecific with monticola, or an earlier name for maxi; see Jenkins (1982). However, minuta Otten, 1917, is preoccupied by minuta Lyddeker, 1902, and thus not available. This problem needs to be resolved.
