43. Katinka’s White-toothed Shrew, Crocidura katinka Bate, 1937

(IUCN Red List: DD)

Distribution: A rare species, originally known from the Upper Pleistocene remains from the Tabun Cave ( Palestine), but retrieved subsequently from owl pellets collected in Halabiyyeh and 2 km to the southwest of Qal’at Sukkara in Jebel Abd Al-Aziz ( Hutterer & Kock 2002). Presumably of a wider occurrence in Mesopotamia and the Euphrates Valley. ( Fig. 49 )
