Crocidura gmelini (Pallas 1811) View in CoL

[Crocidura] gmelini ( Pallas 1811) View in CoL , Zoographia Rosso-Asiatica, Vol. 1: 134.

Type Locality: "Hyrcania"; restricted to " Iran, Khorassan prov., Bujnurd distr., 85 km W Bujnurd, Dasht, 3200 ft. [975 m]" by Goodwin (1940) and Hoffmann (1996 a) .

Vernacular Names: Gmelin's White-toothed Shrew.

Synonyms: Crocidura hyrcania Goodwin 1940 ; Crocidura ilensis Miller 1901 ; Crocidura lar G. Allen 1928 ; Crocidura lignicolor Miller 1900 ; Crocidura mordeni Goodwin 1934 ; Crocidura portali Thomas 1920 .

Distribution: Israel through Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan and Pakistan to W China and Mongolia.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Hoffmann (1996 a, b) designated a neotype, re-defined the species, and provided tentative distribution maps. The species is still unsufficiently known, particularly the relations to C. suaveolens and C. katinka must be studied ( Hutterer and Kock, 2002). The taxon gmelini was previously regarded as a synomyn of Sorex minutus . C. portali was given species rank by Kryštufek and Vohralík (2001), but without regard to Hoffmann's papers.
