Vernacular Names: Malayan Water Shrew.

Distribution: Tropical forest of the Malaysian peninsula.

Conservation: IUCN – Critically Endangered.

Discussion: Included in himalayica by Medway (1977) and other authors but retained by Jones and Mumford (1971). The species differs considerably in its morphology and ecology from the species that inhabit the Himalayan region. The photograph of a live animal in Nowak (1991:156) depicts this species.
