Description

Chimarrogale himalayica (Gray 1842)

[Chimarrogale] himalayica (Gray 1842), Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 1, 10: 261.

Type Locality: " India ", Punjab, Chamba.

Vernacular Names: Himalayan Water Shrew.

Synonyms: Chimarrogale himalayicus (Gray 1842); Chimarrogale leander Thomas 1902; Chimarrogale varennei Thomas 1927.

Distribution: Kashmir through SE Asia to Indochina; C and S China; Taiwan.

Discussion: Corbet (1978 c) included leander, platycephala, varennei, and probably hantu in himalayica. Gureev (1979) listed leander, hantu, platycephala, and varennei as distinct species without comment; both views are only partially accepted here. Species reviewed by Jones and Mumford (1971) and Hoffmann (1987).
