Treatment

Crocidura maurisca Thomas 1904 , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 14: 239.

Type Locality: Uganda, Entebbe.

Vernacular Names: Gracile Naked-tailed Shrew.

Distribution: Swamps and primary forest in Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi; a single record from Gabon.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Part of the C. maurisca-littoralis species group; the extinct balsamifera from Ancient Egypt is probably related (Hutterer, 1994). A record from Gabon ( Goodman et al., 2001 a) is far outside of the known range of the species.
