Treatment

Cryptotis Pomel, 1848 . Arch. Sci. Phys. Nat. Geneve, 9:249.

TYPE SPECIES: Sorex cinereus Bachman, 1837 (= Sorex parvus Say, 1823 ).

SYNONYMS: Brachysorex, Soriciscus , Xenosorex.

COMMENTS: Tribe Blarinini ; see Repenning (1967:37). Revised in part by Choate (1970) and Choate and Fleharty (1974); the South American species still call for a thorough study. Gureev (1979:433-437) listed many species which Choate (1970) considered synonyms. Formerly included C. surinamensis which was transferred to Sorex araneus by Husson (1963).
