Crocidura goliath: Comments
Comment:
Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc)
Comment:
Comments: Type species of subgenus Praesorex Thomas, 1913. Often included in flavescens or olivieri, but apparently represents a distinct species which lives in sympatry with C. olivieri in the Central and West African rainforest; see Hutterer (in Colyn, 1986:22) and Goodman et al. (2000). C. goliath nimbasilvanus replaces Heim de Balsac's C. odorata guineensis (Ziela, Mt. Nimba, Guinea), a name preoccupied by C. occidentalis guineensis Cabrera, currently a subspecies of C. olivieri (Hutterer, 2003)....
