Sorex isodon Turov, 1924 —Taiga Shrew Sorex araneus tomensis isodon Turov, 1924 p.111; Type locality- Lake Baikal, Russia. S. gravesi Goodwin, 1933 p.3; Type locality-Monoma River, Eastern Siberia, Russia. S. araneus: Han, 1994 p.45; Won & Smith, 1999 p.9. S. isodon: Han, 2004a p.33.

Odae in South Korea, but previous records in North Korea, possibly mistakenly identified genuine S. isodon as S. unguiculatus (Ohdachi & Han 2005). If the North Korean records represent S. isodon, the distribution would range throughout higher mountain ranges from central Korea northward into northern North Korea (Kim et al. 2015; Fig. 14). Remarks: Previously, S. isodon was classified as a subspecies of S. araneus or S. sinalis. Since the name isodon had a prior use for an infrasubspecific taxon (Sorex araneus tomensis isodon), ‘ Turov, 1924 ’, isodon was considered an invalid name by Corbet (1978). Therefore, gravesi Goodwin, 1933 preceded isodon ... : 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 28-29, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4522.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/2610198 ...
