Treatment

Blarinella wardi Thomas 1915 , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 15: 336.

Type Locality: Burma, "Hpimaw, Upper Burma, about 26°N., 98°35'E. Alt. 8000' [2400 m]." GoogleMaps .

Vernacular Names: Burmese Short-tailed Shrew.

Distribution: N Burma and NW Yunnan ( China).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (nt).

Discussion: Included in quadraticauda by Allen (1938), Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951) and subsequent authors, but the species has a much smaller and narrower skull (see measurements in Hoffmann, 1987:134) and was therefore regarded as distinct ( Hutterer, 1993 a). These differences were also recognized by Corbet (1978 c:26) and Lunde et al. (2003 b). Revised by Jiang et al. (2003).
