Discussion: Formerly placed in genus Neosorex Baird ; now in Sorex , subgenus Otisorex , S. vagrans complex ( Demboski and Cook, 2001; Fumagalli et al., 1999). Reviewed by Beneski and Stinson (1987, Mammalian Species No. 296), who recognized 9 subspecies. They did not include alaskanus as suggested by Junge and Hoffmann (1981:28) and Hall (1981:43); George (1988) and Carraway (1995) also treated alaskanus as distinct.
