Treatment

Crocidura maxi Sody 1936 , Natuurk. Tijdschr. Ned.-Ind., 96: 53.

Type Locality: Indonesia, Java, East Java.

Vernacular Names: Javanese Shrew.

Distribution: Java, Lesser Sunda Isls (Bali, Sumbawa, Komodo, Sumba, Flores, Alor, Roti, Timor), and Ambon ( Moluccas, Indonesia).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Occurs sympatrically with monticola in Java; see Jenkins (1982) and Kitchener et al. (1994 a). Ruedi (1995) questioned the validity of maxi but stated (p. 243) that "Eastern representatives, which are usually larger, with a flatter skull profile than nominal and central forms, could be treated as a distinct subspecies, C. monticola maxi .".
