Crocidura ramona Ivanitskaya, Shenbrot, and Nevo 1996 View in CoL , Z. Saugetierk., 61: 97.

Type Locality: Israel, Negev, NE region of Makhtesh Ramon (30°40'N, 34°56'E). GoogleMaps

Vernacular Names: Negev Shrew.

Distribution: Israel, Negev Highlands and edge of Judean Desert.

Discussion: A light silver-gray shrew with a unique karyotype of 2n = 28, FN = 46 ( Ivanitskaya et al., 1996 a). Possibly related to the arispa , armenica , pergrisea , serezkiensis, zarudnyi group of rock shrews. Kryštufek and Vohralík (2001) raised the question whether portali might represent an earlier name for ramona , however, portali was discussed as part of gmelini by Hutterer and Kock (2002).
