Episoriculus is a genus of shrew in the red-toothed shrew subfamily.[2][3][4][5][6] Its common is brown-toothed shrew.[7] It has been described as a subgenus to Soriculus in the past.[8][9][10] The genus occurs at a number of locations in Asia, including Nepal and China .[11]

Species

Currently, the four identified species of the genus Episoriculus include:[12][13]

  • Hodgson's brown-toothed shrew (E. caudatus)
    • E. c. sacratus
    • E. c. umbrinus
  • Taiwanese brown-toothed shrew (E. fumidus)
  • Long-tailed brown-toothed shrew (E. leucops)
    • E. l. leucops
    • E. l. baileyi
  • Long-tailed mountain shrew (E. macrurus)

The monophyly of the genus has been questioned, as E. fumidus has been found to be only distantly related to other species in the genus.
