Chodsigoa caovansunga Lunde et al., 2003 View in CoL

Four specimens were collected between 1300– 2100 m in altitude ( Table 1 View Table 1 ). Specimens were collected from dense bamboo shrubs, disturbed forest, and a Chinese cardamom plantation area. The updated altitudinal range on Mt. Tay Con Linh, including information from Lunde et al. (2003), is 1300–2100 m. At 2100 m, this shrew cooccurs with the congeneric Cho. hoffmanni . In the external and cranial features ( Tables 2 View Table 2 & 3 View Table 3 , Figs. 3 View Fig & 4 View Fig ), Cho. caovansunga is clearly smaller than Cho. hoffmanni , thus distinguishing both species from each other. The features and cranium and mandible measurements of these two species were similar to those of specimens examined by Lunde et al. (2003) ( Table 3 View Table 3 ). Chodsigoa caovansunga was originally described from Mt. Tay Con Linh by Lunde et al. (2003) and is currently known to inhabit only Mt. Tay Con Linh in Vietnam and Yunnan Province in China ( He, 2018b).
