Sorex (Otisorex) orizabae Merriam 1895 , N. Amer. Fauna, 10: 71.
Type Locality: Mexico, "Falda oeste del Pico de Orizaba, 9500 ft. [2895 m], Puebla ".
Vernacular Names: Orizaba Long-tailed Shrew.
Distribution: Endemic to Mexico; in Distrito Federal, México, Michoacán, Morelos, Puebla, Tlaxcala, and Veracruz (Carraway, ms).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (nt) as included in S. oreopolus .
Discussion: Subgenus Otisorex . Contrary to Findley (1955 b), this species does not include emarginatus or ventralis , which Diersing and Hoffmeister (1977) placed in the subgenus Sorex . S. orizabae was included in vagrans by Hennings and Hoffmann (1977:8), later included in oreopolus by Junge and Hoffmann (1981:43), and most recently considered a separate species by Carraway (ms).
