Crocidura jouvenetae Heim de Balsac 1958
Crocidura jouvenetae Heim de Balsac 1958 , Mem. Inst. Fr. Afr. Noire, 53: 331.
Type Locality: Guinea, Mt. Nimba, Ziéla.
Vernacular Names: Jouvenet's Shrew.
Synonyms: Crocidura ebriensis Heim de Balsac and Aellen 1958 .
Distribution: S Guinea, Liberia, and Côte d’Ivoire.
Discussion: Heim de Balsac and Meester (1977) included ebriensis , ingoldbyi and jouvenetae in crossei , which was followed by Hutterer (1993 a). However, jouvenetae and ebriensis represent much larger animals than crossei and ingoldbyi . The exact ranges of both species remain to be determined, but both forms occur almost sympatrically from Guinea to Côte d’Ivoire. C. ebriensis was listed as a separate species by Maddalena and Ruedi (1994), Wolsan and Hutterer (1998), and Schlitter et al. (1999), but jouvenetae has priority.
