Paracrocidura Heim de Balsac 1956 , Rev. Zool. Bot. Afr., 54: 137.

Type Species: Paracrocidura schoutedeni Heim de Balsac 1956

Species and subspecies: 3 species:

Species Paracrocidura graueri Hutterer 1986

Species Paracrocidura maxima Heim de Balsac 1959

Species Paracrocidura schoutedeni Heim de Balsac 1956

Discussion: Revised by Hutterer (1986 c). A study of 16s rRNA sequences placed Paracrocidura in one clade with Crocidura (Querouil et al., 2001) . However, unique external and cranial features distinguish the species of Paracrocidura from all other genera.
