Crocidurinae Milne-Edwards 1872

Description

Subfamily Crocidurinae Milne-Edwards, 1872. Rech. Hist. Nat. Mammifères, p. 256.

SYNONYMS: Crocidosoricinae, Myosoricinae.

COMMENTS: Perhaps not a monophyletic group. Reumer (1987) postulated a new subfamily, Crocidosoricinae, for a number of fossil genera previously included in Crocidurinae. By application of the characters given for the new clade, a number of recent genera such as Congosorex, Myosorex and Surdisorex would go with it. The entire group is in need of revision.
