Valid name: Crocidura olivieri (Lesson, 1827) ssp. nyansae Neumann, 1900

Syntypes: ZMB 83312 (= A 5484), female, juvenile, skin; ZMB 83311 (= A 5485), skin, skull; ZMB 83314 (= A 5491), female, body in alcohol; ZMB 25490 (= A 5490) skin, ZMB 83313 skull (but according to the label the collector is listed as Schillings); ZMB 83316 (= A 5492), skull; ZMB 83315 (= A 5493), skull. Syntypes collected by Neumann from Kwa Lubwa [= Djindja Ussoga], Uganda between May and October 1894.

Comments: Neumann (1900: 544) discussed five specimens: 2 adult females, 1 juvenile female, 1 adult male, 1 unsexed juvenile. Neumann did not fix a holotype; however, the ZMB collection data indicates that the specimens listed above are most likely those discussed by him.
