Sorex tenellus: Comments
Comment:
Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc)
Comment:
Comments: Subgenus Otisorex. Similar to nanus with which it may form an allospecies (Hoffmann and Owen, 1980, Mammalian Species No. 131), but George (1988) retained both as separate species on the basis of allozyme frequencies
