Sorex kozlovi Stroganov, 1952 . Byull. Moscow Ova. Ispyt. Prir. Otd. Biol., 57:21.

TYPE LOCALITY: " Tibet " (= Qinghai), Dze-Chyu (Zi Qu) River, tributary of Mekong River (= Lancang Jiang) .

DISTRIBUTION: Known only from the type locality.

COMMENTS: Type species of subgenus Eurosorex Stroganov, 1952 . Known from a single specimen, until near-topotype (National Museum of Natural History - 449080) obtained in 1987. Regarded as a subspecies of thibetanus by some authors ( Dolgov and Hoffmann, 1977; Hoffmann, 1987) or included in buchariensis by others ( Corbet, 1978c; Gureev, 1979). Hutterer (1979) recognized inconsistencies in the various published figures and descriptions of the same holotype specimen and regarded kozlovi as a doubtful taxon; see also under buchariensis and thibetanus .
