Description
Crocidura cyanea (Duvernoy, 1838). Mem. Soc. Hist. Nat. Strasbourg, 2:2.
TYPE LOCALITY: "La riviere des Elephants, au sud de l'Afrique" = Citrusdal, South Africa fide Shortridge (1942:27).
DISTRIBUTION: South Africa, Namibia, Angola, Botswana, Mozambique; records further north uncertain.
SYNONYMS: argentatus, electa, holobrunneus, infumatus, martensi, pondoensis, vryburgensis.
COMMENTS: The species concept applied by Heim de Balsac and Meester (1977), and Meester et al. (1986) included a number of names which evidently do not belong to cyanea but to species such as parvipes and smithii; see Hutterer (1986a) and Hutterer and Joger (1982). The limits of distribution of cyanea have not yet been established; the taxon erica which has been included in cyanea may be related to hirta.
