Crocidura sp.

Crocidura sp.

Remark: This taxon includes mandibles of white-toothed shrew (Crocidurinae: Crocidura ) which are intermediate in size between C. lasiura and C. shantungensis . Because here the size is the main criterion for the species determination, all intermediate forms are distinguished as a possible separate species even though there is not enough material to describe them as new species.
