Description

Sylvisorex Thomas, 1904. Abstr. Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1904(10): 12.

TYPE SPECIES: Crocidura morio Gray, 1862.

COMMENTS: Subfamily Crocidurinae; see Repenning (1967:15). The genus was regarded as part of Suncus by Smithers and Tello (1976), but was retained by Ansell (1978); it may be polyphyletic and its relation to Suncus requires further study. Jenkins (1984) figured and discussed most of the species listed.
