| Summary: | Sorex gracillimus Thomas, 1907 —Slender Shrew Sorex minutus gracillimus Thomas, 1907b p.408; Type locality- Sakhalin, Russia; Ellerman & Morrison-Scott, 1951 p.48; Won, 1958 p.450; Jones & Johnson, 1960 p.561; Won, 1967 p.269; Won, 1968 p.59. Sorex gracillimus: Corbet, 1978 p.19; Yoon, 1992 p.19; Han, 1994 p.45; Won & Smith, 1999 p.10; Han, 2004a p.32. Range: Sorex gracillimus has its distribution limited to extreme northeastern Korea at Mt. Baekdu (Fig. 12). An alleged collection of this shrew at Mt. Jiri in 1983 found no support from a specimen or official collection of this shrew in South Korea (Han 2004a). Thus, the occurrence of this species in South Korea remains problematic. Remarks: Additional efforts are necessary to determine the status of this species in North Korea. Previously, S. gracillimus was considered a subspecies of Sorex minutus. The subspecies inhabiting Korea remains doubtful, but is probably S. g. hyojironis, since this subspecies occupies nearby Manchuria. ... : Published as part of Jo, Yeong-Seok, Baccus, John T. & Koprowski, John L., 2018, Mammals of Korea: a review of their taxonomy, distribution and conservation status, pp. 1-216 in Zootaxa 4522 (1) on pages 24-25, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4522.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/2610198 ... |
