Valid name: Provisionally Sylvisorex johnstoni dieterleni Hutterer, 1986; Sylvisorex johnstoni (Dobson, 1888) contains more than one genetic lineage (Querouil et al. 2003), and S. dieterleni would be a potential taxon name for an eastern clade.

Holotype: ZMB 7563, female, adult, body in alcohol, skull extracted. Collected by Graf Gõtzen from Usambiro, NW-Tanzania.
