Description
Summary:Sorex isodon Turov, 1924. C.R. Acad. Sci. Paris, p. 111. TYPE LOCALITY: Russia, Siberia, NE of Lake Baikal, Barguzinsk taiga, River Sosovka. DISTRIBUTION: SE Norway and Finland through Siberia to the Pacific coast; Kamchatka; Sakhalin Isl; Kurile Isis; probably also NE China and Korea. SYNONYMS: gravesi, princeps, ruthenus. COMMENTS: Subgenus Sorex. Probably not conspecific with sinalis as suggested by Corbet (1978c) and Dolgov (1985); see Siivonen (1965) and Hoffmann (1987). Because the well established name isodon is antedated by gravesi, Hoffmann (1987) suggested that isodon be declared the valid name; the case needs to be submitted to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. The species was reviewed by Sulkava (1990). The recently described isodon marchicus (Passarge, 1984) is provisionally included in araneus; see comments under that species.
