Neomys fodiens

Description

Neomys fodiens (Pennant, 1771). Synopsis Quadrupeds, p. 308.

TYPE LOCALITY: Germany, Berlin.

DISTRIBUTION: Most of Europe including the British Isis and eastwards to Lake Baikal, Yenise River (Russia), Tien Shan (China), and NW Mongolia; disjunct in Sakhalin Isl and adjacent Siberia, Jilin (China), and N Korea.

SYNONYMS: albus, aquaticus, argenteus, bicolor, brachyotus, canicularius, carinatus, ciliatus, collaris, constrictus, dagestanicus, daubentonii, eremita, fimbriatus, fluviatilis, griseogularis, hermanni, hydrophilus, ignotus, intermedius, limchjnhunii, lineatus, linneana, liricaudatus, longobarda, macrourus, minor, musculus, naias, natans, newtoni, niethammeri, nigripes, orientalis, orientis, pennantii, psilurus, remifer, rivalis, sowerbyi, stagnatilis, stresemanni, teres, watasei.

COMMENTS: Includes teres, orientis, and watasei as possible subspecies (Ognev, 1928; Hoffmann, 1987; Yudin, 1989). Many of the listed synonyms have never been properly studied and identified; recently, Lehmann (1983) referred constrictus to Crocidura russula. The form niethammeri from NE Spain may represent a valid species (López-Fuster et al., 1990).
