Summary:Sorex arcticus Kerr, 1792. Animal Kingdom, p. 206. TYPE LOCALITY: Canada, Ontario, settlement on Severn River (now Fort Severn), Hudson Bay.

SYNONYMS: laricorum, maritimensis, pachyurus, richardsonii, spagnicola. COMMENTS: Subgenus Sorex. Palearctic species currently referred to arcticus (Gromov and Baranova, 1981:18) represent tundrensis (Junge et al., 1983; Ivanitskaya et al., 1986); see also Sokolov and Orlov (1980) and Hoffmann (1985«).
