Treatment

Crocidura crenata Brosset, Dubost, and Heim de Balsac 1965 , Mammalia, 29: 268.

Type Locality: Gabon, Belinga.

Vernacular Names: Long-footed Shrew.

Distribution: High forest in S Cameroon, N Gabon, and E Dem. Rep. Congo.

Discussion: The specific epithet obviously was choosen because the species has extremily long feet and tail; Brosset (1988) observed that they aid in jumping rather than climbing.
