Sorex mirabilis Ognev 1937

Authors/Creators

Description

Sorex mirabilis Ognev, 1937. Byull. Moscow Ova. Ispyt. Prir. Otd. Biol., 46(5):268.

TYPE LOCALITY: Russia, Primorskii Krai, Ussuriiskii r-n., Kamenka River (specified by Pavlinov and Rossolimo, 1987).

DISTRIBUTION: N Korea, NE China, and Ussuri region (Russia).

SYNONYMS: kutscheruki.

COMMENTS: Placed in monotypic subgenus Ognevia by Heptner and Dolgov (1967), who demonstrated that mirabilis is not conspecific with pacificus, as had been suggested earlier (Bobrinskii et al., 1965). Hutterer (1982b) suggested a closer relationship with Sorex (Homalurus) alpinus because of shared derived features of genital morphology.
