Crocidura dongyangjiangensis Found in Liupanshui,Guizhou Province
Three specimens of Crocidura were trapped by the pitfall trap method in Munike Village,Yangmei Township,Liupanshui City,Guizhou Province,China.The specimens collected are smaller(49.0±0.8 mm).The tail length(41.8±4.2 mm)is slightly shorter than the head and body length(tail length/head and body length is 85％)(Table 2).The back hair is light grayish brown,and the ventral hair is gray,which is lighter than the back hair.The tail is bicolor,black-brownish above,and paler beneath.The back of the front foot is white,and of the back foot is light gray.The tail is almost bare,and long sparse hairs are present at the base of one-third of the tail.Condyloincisive length is 15.92±0.55 mm.The height of the braincase is 4.75±0.18 mm.The specimen has one upper incisor,with a long and large anterior tip and a small and low posterior tip.There were 3 upper unicuspid teeth,the first unicuspid tooth is the largest,and the second unicuspid tooth is slightly larger than the third one.There are one P4 and 3 molars in the maxillary.The above characteristics are consistent with the description and identification of the type specimen of C.dongyangjiangensis.The specimens collected are determined to be C.dongyangjiangensis.The genetic distances between C.dongyangjiangensis specimen recorded and our specimens are the nearest,between 0.004 and 0.027,based on the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene.It was shown that our specimen lay in a monophyletic clade together with C.dongyangjiangensis in the phylogenetic tree(Fig.2).It is further confirmed that the 3 specimens collected are C.dongyangjiangensis.
