038387B0FFCFFFBDFC26252D4EE45D6D.taxon	description	(FIGS 6, S 1) Common name: Hoffmann’s Long-tailed Shrew; 霍氏缺 齿鼩 (= Huoshi Quechiqu). Holotype: KIZ 032249 (field number: AL 1305335). An adult female collected by ZZC on 21 April 2013. Dried skin, cleaned skull and alcohol-preserved carcass. Type locality: The eastern slope of the Ailao Mountain (24.590 N, 101.508 E, 2600 m a. s. l.), Shuangbai, Chuxiong, Yunnan, China. Paratypes: KIZ 019442, 019443, 019448, 019458, 019459, collected from Wuliang Mountain in January 1998; KIZ 032025, 032249, 032254, 032777, 032778, collected on the western slope of Ailao Mountain, Zhenyuan (24.279 N, 101.263 E) and KIZ 032248, 032776 was collected on the eastern slope of Ailao Mountain, Shuangbai (24.590 N, 101.508 E) from March 2013 to January 2014. All specimens are prepared as dried skins with cleaned skulls; skull of KIZ 032254 is missing. Diagnosis: Body size larger than C. parva, C. sodalis and C. caovansunga, but smaller than all the other known species of Chodsigoa (Table S 1). Tail longer than the HB, so relatively longer than those of C. hypsibia (TL ≤ HB), C. parva (TL ≤ HB) and C. sodalis (TL = HB). Tail bicoloured with a tuft of longer hair on the tip, similar to C. parca and C. sodalis (tail not bicoloured in C. parva; the tip of tail naked in C. caovansunga, C. furva and C. smithii). Braincase higher than C. caovansunga, C. hypsibia, C. parva and C. sodalis. Skull similar to C. parca in shape, with overall smaller craniomandibular measurements. Upper incisors shorter than C. parca; upper unicuspids overlap slightly, but are less crowded than in C. parca. Coronoid process of mandible shorter than C. parca. Description: A medium-sized (HB = 67 mm) Chodsigoa with a long tail (TL = 82 mm; TL / HB = 120 %). Dorsal pelage slate grey; ventral pelage slate grey and paler than the dorsum. Dorsal surface of tail pigmented brown, ventral surface paler. Tip of tail white (c. 5 mm) in most specimens with a tuft of slightly longer hair. The skin of the hands and hind feet is creamy white. Braincase is domed. The rostrum is short and gradually tapering in the premaxillary region. First upper incisor falciform; anterior cusp short, hook-like. Three upper unicuspids quite similar in size, are slightly overlapping, and in lateral aspect appear to gradually decrease in size from U 1 to U 3. Upper M 3 reduced, with a very narrow talon. Pigmentation only present on tips of upper and lower incisors and first unicuspids. Horizontal ramus short but stout. Ascending ramus noticeably broader at the level of the upper sigmoid notch. Coronoid spicule clear and very low, clearly ventral to the level of upper sigmoid notch. Comparisons: Among the species of Chodsigoa, C. hoffmanni is most similar to its sister species C. parca, but it is clearly smaller in most measurements of its skull. Chodsigoa hoffmanni also has smaller upper incisors, with a shorter and more hook-shaped anterior cusp. The upper unicuspids of C. hoffmanni overlap only slightly, while in C. parca, the unicuspids extend anteriorly overlapping to a greater degree, and appeared crowded. The mandible of C. hoffmanni is shorter than that of C. parca. Coronoid spicule of C. hoffmanni is clearly ventral to the level of upper sigmoid notch, more ventrally positioned than that of C. parca, which is entirely at the level of the upper sigmoid notch (Fig. 7). When compared with the other species, C. hoffmanni differs from C. hypsibia, C. parva and C. sodalis by its relatively longer tail (TL / HB = 120 %). Chodsigoa hoffmanni has a tuft of longer hair on the tip of the tail, making it different from C. caovansunga, C. furva and C. smithii. External morphology is similar to C. caovansunga. The braincase of C. hoffmanni is more domed-shaped and higher than that of C. caovansunga. Chodsigoa hoffmanni also differs from C. furva and C. smithii by its shorter hind feet. Comments: Chodsigoa hoffmanni was previously included in C. parca (Lunde et al., 2003; He et al., 2010). Based on molecular and morphological evidence, it should be recognized as a separate species. The Mekong River probably acts as the geographic barrier between the two species. The populations included in the current study from China and Vietnam are geographically isolated by the Red River (Fig. 3) and are also genetically divergent from each other. Distribution: Currently known from Ailao Mountain and Wuliang Mountain, Yunnan, China, Mt. Tay Con Linh II, northern Vietnam. The Mekong River is likely the western boundary of its distribution. This species was collected from evergreen broadleaved forests from 1500 to 2600 m. Etymology: Named in memory of Dr. Robert Shaw Hoffmann (1929 – 2010), a Curator of Mammals at the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution. He worked with Chinese mammalogists and contributed to the science of mammalogy in China (Wilson & Timm, 2011).

038387B0FFCFFFBDFC26252D4EE45D6D.taxon	discussion	Remarks: A medium- to large-sized species (Tables 3 and S 5): Dorsal pelage is slate grey, ventral brownish grey. Dorsal surfaces of hands and feet appear creamy white, ventral surfaces light brown. Tail shorter than the HB, not sharply bicoloured, dorsal surface dark brown, ventral surface paler. A tuft of slightly longer hair on tip of the tail. Skull, especially the braincase, markedly flattened. Rostrum gradually narrowed in the premaxillary region. This species has a wide distribution, and there is considerable shape variation among geographical populations (Jiang & Hoffmann, 2005). It was first described by De Winton & Styan (1899). Chodsigoa beresowskii (Kastschenko, 1907) was regarded as a synonym of C. hypsibia by Thomas (1912 b). Chodsigoa lamula (Thomas, 1912 a) was recognized as a subspecies of C. hypsibia by Allen (1938). Hoffmann (1985) considered it as distinct species and this was followed by Hutterer (2005). However, our molecular results found that it is genetically indistinguishable from C. hypsibia. We, therefore, consider it as a synonym of C. hypsibia. Two subspecies (the nominal subspecies and C. h. larvarum, Allen, 1938) are recognized. CHODSIGOA HYPSIBIA HYPSIBIA (DE WINTON AND STYAN, 1899) Type locality: Yangliu-pa (= Yangliu ba), Pingwu, Sichuan, China. Remarks: Our molecular analyses indicate that the population from Ninglang, Yunnan, China, is a cryptic species. It is morphologically indistinguishable from the nominal subspecies so we provisionally retain it as C. hypsibia. It will need to be re-examined once additional specimens from a wider geographic area are available. Distribution: Known from Qinghai, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Tibet and Yunnan, China. Most populations occupy mid- to high-mountain forests from 1200 to 3500 m.	en	Chen, Zhong-Zheng, He, Kai, Huang, Cheng, Wan, Tao, Lin, Liang-Kong, Liu, Shao-Ying, Jiang, Xue-Long (2017): Integrative systematic analyses of the genus Chodsigoa (Mammalia: Eulipotyphla: Soricidae), with descriptions of new species.

038387B0FFCDFFBDFF4824FC48895806.taxon	materials_examined	Type locality: Eastern Qing tombs, Hebei, China. Remarks: Thomas (1912 b) recognized an isolated population from Hebei as C. larvarum. This species was considered by Allen (1938) to be a subspecies of C. hypsibia and by Hoffmann (1985) as a synonym of C. hypsibia. Only a few specimens are known in scientific collections. Liu et al. (2011) captured two C. hypsibia larvarum in Shanxi and found them to be smaller than the nominal subspecies (Table S 5). They assigned them to C. h. larvarum and hypothesized the Yellow River as a likely geographic boundary between the two subspecies. We follow Liu et al. (2011) and retain C. h. larvarum as a subspecies. Nonetheless, a genetic study is warranted to test the distinctiveness of this subspecies, as well as all known geographic populations. Distribution: Known from Beijing, Hebei and Shanxi. In Hebei, individuals were captured in a radish garden on a stony hill at 300 m (Thomas, 1912 b). In Shanxi, the taxon was captured in deciduous broadleaved forest at 1950 m (Liu et al., 2011).	en	Chen, Zhong-Zheng, He, Kai, Huang, Cheng, Wan, Tao, Lin, Liang-Kong, Liu, Shao-Ying, Jiang, Xue-Long (2017): Integrative systematic analyses of the genus Chodsigoa (Mammalia: Eulipotyphla: Soricidae), with descriptions of new species.

038387B0FFCDFFBCFC29212E4CE55AC7.taxon	materials_examined	Holotype: AMNH 114620. An adult male collected by H. E. Anthony on 21 January 1939. Skin and skull in good condition. Type locality: Imaw Bum, North Myanmar. Altitude: 9000 feet (≈ 2750 m). Diagnosis: Distinguished from other Chodsigoa species by the combination of middle size, relatively long tail lacking a tuft of hair at the tip and narrower zygomatic plate. Tail is longer than the HB (TL / HB = 120 %), so relatively longer than those of C. hypsibia (TL / HB ≤ 100 %), C. parva (TL / HB ≤ 100 %) and C. sodalis (TL / HB = 100 %). End of tail naked without a tuft of hair on the tip, in contrast to C. hoffmanni, C. hypsibia, C. parca, C. parva and C. sodalis, which have tufts of longer hair on the tip of tail. Braincase dome-shaped, higher than those of C. caovansunga and C. hypsibia. Rostrum abruptly narrowed in the premaxillary area, in contrast to all species of Chodsigoa but C. smithii. Zygomatic plate narrower than all other species. Description: A medium-sized Chodsigoa species, with a long tail (TL / HB = 120 %). Dorsal pelage dark grey, ventral pelage slighter paler. Tail not sharply bicoloured, dark brown above and paler below. No tuft of longer hair on the tip of the tail. Dorsal surface of fore feet and hind feet are covered by short brown hair. Hind feet are relatively long. Braincase is well-domed. Rostrum sharply narrowed in the premaxillary region. Zygomatic plate is narrower than in all other species of Chodsigoa. Primary cusp of upper incisor is long. Upper unicuspids overlap slightly. Upper M 3 reduced, but talon is well developed. Ascending ramus is noticeably broader at the level of the upper sigmoid notch. Coronoid spicule is clearly at the level of upper sigmoid notch. Comparisons: Chodsigoa furva is morphologically similar to its sister species C. smithii in overall smaller size. The rostrum in these two species narrows sharply in the premaxillary region, in contrast to all other species, in which the rostrum tapers gradually in premaxillary region. Body size is smaller than that of C. smithii, larger than that of C. parva, but similar to all other species. Tail is longer than HB, unlike tails of C. hypsibia, C. parva and C. sodalis. This species has a tail that is not clearly bicoloured; the ventral surface is only slightly paler than the dorsum; this character is similar to C. parva, but different from all other species. Chodsigoa furva differs from all other species by having the narrowest zygomatic plate in this genus. The coronoid process is lower and shorter than in C. smithii. Comments: This species was originally described as a subspecies of C. smithii (Anthony, 1941) based on a single specimen. Hoffmann (1985) considered it a subspecies of C. parca; however, C. furva obviously differs from C. parca on its sharply narrowed rostrum (Figs 6, 7). Distribution: Known from the type locality in northern Myanmar and two localities in northwestern Yunnan, China. All individuals were captured at elevations higher than 2000 m. We assume that this species is a high-elevation inhabitant, adapted to relatively cool environments, and thus, it likely occurs throughout high mountain areas in north Myanmar and western Yunnan.	en	Chen, Zhong-Zheng, He, Kai, Huang, Cheng, Wan, Tao, Lin, Liang-Kong, Liu, Shao-Ying, Jiang, Xue-Long (2017): Integrative systematic analyses of the genus Chodsigoa (Mammalia: Eulipotyphla: Soricidae), with descriptions of new species.

038387B0FFCCFFBCFCF922A8495E5D4A.taxon	materials_examined	Type locality: Chapa (= Sapa), Tonkin, North Vietnam. Remarks: Represented by a single specimen. According to the measurements in the original description and those made by Hoffmann (1985), this taxon is larger than C. hoffmanni but similar to C. p. parca in size (Table S 5). Both C. p. lowei and C. hoffmanni are distributed to the east of the Mekong River. Their relationship needs to be carefully addressed in future. Distribution: Only known from the type locality.	en	Chen, Zhong-Zheng, He, Kai, Huang, Cheng, Wan, Tao, Lin, Liang-Kong, Liu, Shao-Ying, Jiang, Xue-Long (2017): Integrative systematic analyses of the genus Chodsigoa (Mammalia: Eulipotyphla: Soricidae), with descriptions of new species.

038387B0FFCCFFBCFE80245A4E985F40.taxon	discussion	Remarks: A medium-sized species of Chodsigoa. Chodsigoa parca was originally named as a subspecies of C. smithii (Allen, 1923, 1938). Hoffmann (1985) recognized C. parca as a valid species and considered C. p. lowei (Osgood, 1932) and C. p. furva (Anthony, 1941) as subspecies of C. parca. We recognized C. furva as a full species but left C. p. lowei as a subspecies because no specimen was available in the current study.	en	Chen, Zhong-Zheng, He, Kai, Huang, Cheng, Wan, Tao, Lin, Liang-Kong, Liu, Shao-Ying, Jiang, Xue-Long (2017): Integrative systematic analyses of the genus Chodsigoa (Mammalia: Eulipotyphla: Soricidae), with descriptions of new species.

038387B0FFCCFFBCFF6726D64F985BB9.taxon	materials_examined	Type locality: Homushu pass (= Hong mu shu pass), Baoshan, Yunnan, China. Remarks: Dorsal pelage slate grey and ventral pelage paler. Tail is longer than the HB. Tail bicoloured, dorsal surface brown, ventral surface creamy white. A tuft of slightly longer hair is located on the tip of tail. Most have a 5 - mm-wide band of white colour at the tip of the tail. Hands and hind feet whitish, covered by slightly brownish hair; plantar pads well separated. Braincase dome-shaped. Rostrum tapers gradually in premaxillary region (Fig. 6). Three specimens from Thailand are retained in this subspecies because no genetic material is available. Distribution: Yunnan, SW China, northern Myanmar and Thailand. It is likely the Mekong River acts as the eastern boundary of its distribution. Although the species has a large elevational range, most specimens were collected at elevations from 2400 to 2600 m in evergreen broadleaved forest in western Yunnan.	en	Chen, Zhong-Zheng, He, Kai, Huang, Cheng, Wan, Tao, Lin, Liang-Kong, Liu, Shao-Ying, Jiang, Xue-Long (2017): Integrative systematic analyses of the genus Chodsigoa (Mammalia: Eulipotyphla: Soricidae), with descriptions of new species.

038387B0FFCCFFA3FC2824DD4DAC5B55.taxon	materials_examined	Type Locality: Ssushancheng, Likiang (= Lijiang) Range, Yunnan, China. Remarks: This is the smallest species of Chodsigoa, although it is proportionally similar to C. hypsibia (Table 3). Dorsal pelage dark grey, and ventral pelage slightly paler grey. Tail is shorter than the HB. Dorsal surface of tail dark brown and slightly paler below. A small tuft of hair at the tip of the tail. Hands and hind feet dark brown with plantar pads are separated. Skull is small and braincase is flattened. Upper unicuspids overlap slightly. Originally described as a subspecies of C. hypsibia (Allen, 1923), C. parva was later recognized as a species (Allen, 1938). Hoffmann (1985) considered it as a subspecies of C. lamula. Lunde et al. (2003) regarded it as a distinct species, which is supported in the current study. Distribution: The distribution of this species has been confused, because of inconsistent taxonomy. Based on our collection, it seems to be widely distributed in Yunnan at middle to high elevations in moist broadleaf forest. It is also distributed in western Sichuan Mountains and may extend to Shaanxi. One specimen from Fujian was also recognized as this species (Lehmann, 1955). Thus, the distribution may be larger than we currently know.	en	Chen, Zhong-Zheng, He, Kai, Huang, Cheng, Wan, Tao, Lin, Liang-Kong, Liu, Shao-Ying, Jiang, Xue-Long (2017): Integrative systematic analyses of the genus Chodsigoa (Mammalia: Eulipotyphla: Soricidae), with descriptions of new species.

038387B0FFD3FFA3FF5C22CE4EA05F24.taxon	materials_examined	Type locality: Lun-ngan’ - fu (Long’an fu) = Pingwu, Sichuan, China. Remarks: Chodsigoa salenskii is the largest species in the genus Chodsigoa, with long hind feet (HF = 23.5 mm) and a large skull (CIL = 25 mm) (Kastschenko, 1907). It is only known from the holotype collected by Berezovski in 1893. It is very similar to C. smithii but larger.	en	Chen, Zhong-Zheng, He, Kai, Huang, Cheng, Wan, Tao, Lin, Liang-Kong, Liu, Shao-Ying, Jiang, Xue-Long (2017): Integrative systematic analyses of the genus Chodsigoa (Mammalia: Eulipotyphla: Soricidae), with descriptions of new species.

038387B0FFD3FFA3FE81263D48995D26.taxon	materials_examined	Type Locality: Tatsienlu (= Kangding), Sichuan, China. Remarks: Chodsigoa smithii is another large species in this genus (Table 3), larger than C. hypsibia but smaller than C. salenskii. Dorsal and ventral pelage is generally dark grey. Tail is longer than head – body length (112 – 133 % of HB). Tail is not sharply bicoloured; it is covered by short hair and naked at the tip. Hands and feet white, darkening gradually to inner sides, plantar pads well separated. Skull large with a low, but dome-shaped braincase. Rostrum narrow, sharply narrowed in the front, similar to C. furva (Fig. 7).	en	Chen, Zhong-Zheng, He, Kai, Huang, Cheng, Wan, Tao, Lin, Liang-Kong, Liu, Shao-Ying, Jiang, Xue-Long (2017): Integrative systematic analyses of the genus Chodsigoa (Mammalia: Eulipotyphla: Soricidae), with descriptions of new species.

038387B0FFD3FFA3FE81263D48995D26.taxon	distribution	Distribution: Previously known from Sichuan and Shaanxi. We report new localities in Guizhou and Yunnan provinces (east of the Salween River). Most records are in mid-montane broadleaved forests from 2000 to 3000 m. We captured one individual at 900 m in Fenggang, Guizhou. Chodsigoa smithii is sympatric with C. hypsibia in western Sichuan Mountains and with C. hoffmanni in Yunnan.	en	Chen, Zhong-Zheng, He, Kai, Huang, Cheng, Wan, Tao, Lin, Liang-Kong, Liu, Shao-Ying, Jiang, Xue-Long (2017): Integrative systematic analyses of the genus Chodsigoa (Mammalia: Eulipotyphla: Soricidae), with descriptions of new species.

038387B0FFD3FFA2FC2C24CE4CF85806.taxon	description	Common names: Lesser Taiwanese Shrew; 细尾长尾鼩 (Xiwei Changweiqu) Type locality: Mt. Arizan (= Mt. Alishan), Central Taiwan. Remarks: This small species of Chodsigoa only occurs in Taiwan (Fig. 1; Table 3). Dorsal pelage is dark grey, ventral pelage is slightly paler. Tail colour solid brown; TL approximately equal to the HB. Hands and hind feet relatively large and paler in colour. Skull robust with a dome-shaped braincase; rostrum narrows gradually. Confused with Episoriculus fumidus for a long time, Motokawa et al. (1997) re-examined and recognized C. sodalis as a valid species, a position that is supported by our study. Distribution: Known only from a few localities in middle Taiwan mountain areas, at elevations from 600 to 2500 m.	en	Chen, Zhong-Zheng, He, Kai, Huang, Cheng, Wan, Tao, Lin, Liang-Kong, Liu, Shao-Ying, Jiang, Xue-Long (2017): Integrative systematic analyses of the genus Chodsigoa (Mammalia: Eulipotyphla: Soricidae), with descriptions of new species.
