Sorex (Sorex) shinto Thomas 1905 View in CoL , Abstr. Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1905 (23): 19.

Type Locality: Japan, N Honshu, "Makado, near Nohechi".

Vernacular Names: Shinto Shrew.

Subspecies: :

Subspecies Sorex (Sorex) shinto subsp. shinto Thomas 1905

Subspecies Sorex (Sorex) shinto subsp. sadonis Yoshiyuki and Imaizumi 1986

Subspecies Sorex (Sorex) shinto subsp. shikokensis Abe 1967

Distribution: Honshu, Shikoku, and Sado ( Japan).

Conservation: IUCN – Endangered as S. sadonis ; otherwise Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Subgenus Sorex . S. caecutiens group. Karyotype has 2n = 42, FN = 70. Included in caecutiens by Abe (1967) and Corbet (1978 c), but Imaizumi (1970 b) treated shinto as a separate species, a view supported by Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987), and by the allozyme data of George (1988). Ohdachi et al. (1997 a) used mitochondrial gene sequences to show that both species occur in Japan: caecutiens in Hokkaido, and shinto in Honshu, Shikoku, and Sado. These authors also provided evidence that sadonis and shikokensis should be included in shinto ; S. sadonis had been treated as a separate species before. Yoshiyuki and Imaizumi (1986) assigned the species to "the caecutiens arcticus section of the minutus group." Dokuchaev et al. (1999) studied the geographical variation of shinto and found that all three island populations are morphometrically distinct.
