Odae in South Korea, but previous records in North Korea, possibly mistakenly identified genuine  S. isodonas  S. unguiculatus( Ohdachi & Han 2005). If the North Korean records represent  S. isodon,the distribution would range throughout higher mountain ranges from central Koreanorthward into northern North Korea( Kim et al.2015; Fig. 14).   Remarks:Previously,  S. isodonwas classified as a subspecies of  S. araneusor  S. sinalis. Since the name  isodonhad a prior use for an infrasubspecific taxon (  Sorex araneus tomensis isodon), ‘ Turov, 1924’,  isodonwas considered an invalid name by Corbet (1978). Therefore,  gravesi Goodwin, 1933preceded  isodonStroganov, 1936as a species name. However, Hoffmann (1987)recommended the use of ‘  Sorex isodon Turov, 1924’ as an available name retaining the commonly used  isodoninstead of the unfamiliar  gravesi. Hutterer (2005b)adopted Hoffmann’s recommendation. We followed this suggestion.
