Treatment

Sorex (Otisorex) oreopolus Merriam 1892 , Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 7: 173.

Type Locality: "Sierra de Colima, Jalisco, Mexico (altitude 10,000 feet) [= 3,048 m]".

Vernacular Names: Mexican Long-tailed Shrew.

Distribution: Endemic to Mexico; in Distrito Federal, Jalisco, México, Morelos, Puebla, and Tlaxcala (Carraway, ms).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (nt).

Discussion: Subgenus Otisorex . Contrary to Findley (1955 b), this species does not include emarginatus or ventralis , which Diersing and Hoffmeister (1977) placed in the subgenus Sorex . S. orizabae was included in vagrans by Hennings and Hoffmann (1977:8), and in oreopolus by Junge and Hoffmann (1981:43), but considered a separate species by Carraway (ms).
