Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc)
Comment:
Comments: Subgenus Sorex or Eurosorex, S. caecutiens group. Karyotype has 2n= 38 (Finland) or 42 (Siberia), FN = 74. Yoshiyuki (1988a) recognized nine subspecies, but the evidence seems to be weak, and none is recognized here. Ohdachi et al. (1997b) identified a sister relationship between S. minutissimus and S. hosonoi
