Treatment

Neotetracus sinensis Trouessart 1909 , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 4: 390.

Type Locality: "Ta-tsien-lou, province of Se-tchouen ( China Occidental) at an altitude of 2454 meters" [= Kangding, Sichuan Sheng, 30°07'N, 102°02'E]. GoogleMaps

Vernacular Names: Shrew Gymnure.

Synonyms: Neotetracus cuttingi Anthony 1941 ; Neotetracus fulvescens Osgood 1932 .

Distribution: S China in Sichuan and Yunnan, and adjacent parts of Burma and N Vietnam.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (nt) as Hylomys sinensis .

Discussion: Corbet (1988:127) retained the genus Neotetracus for this species, as did Mein and Ginsburg (1997). In a comparative genetic study of six hedgehog genera by Bannikova et al. (2002), Neotetracus (and Hylomys ) formed the most basal taxa in the dendrograms.
