S. isodon: Han, 2004a p.33 View in CoL .

Range: The first collection of S. isodon occurred in 1999 on Mt. Odae in South Korea, but previous records in North Korea, possibly mistakenly identified genuine S. isodon as S. unguiculatus ( Ohdachi & Han 2005) . If the North Korean records represent S. isodon , the distribution would range throughout higher mountain ranges from central Korea northward into northern North Korea ( Kim et al. 2015; Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 ).

Remarks: Previously, S. isodon was classified as a subspecies of S. araneus or S. sinalis . Since the name isodon had a prior use for an infrasubspecific taxon ( Sorex araneus tomensis isodon ), ‘ Turov, 1924 ’, isodon was considered an invalid name by Corbet (1978). Therefore, gravesi Goodwin, 1933 preceded isodon Stroganov, 1936 as a species name. However, Hoffmann (1987) recommended the use of ‘ Sorex isodon Turov, 1924 ’ as an available name retaining the commonly used isodon instead of the unfamiliar gravesi . Hutterer (2005b) adopted Hoffmann’s recommendation. We followed this suggestion.
