Crocidura( bottegi) eburnea Heim de Balsac, 1958: 327.
COMMON NAME. — Ivory CoastWhite-toothed Shrew.
MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Apesokubi• 1 ♀; pitfall; 27.XI.1999; ZFMK 1999.1144.
REMARK Initially identified as Crociduracf. douceti Heim de Balsac, 1958, this tiny shrew has been re-assigned to Crocidura eburnea, which has only recently been elevated from a synonym of C. obscurior( Hutterer 2005)to species level ( Jacquet et al.2014). This is the first record of C.cf. eburneafrom the Volta Regionand since the Volta Riveris considered the eastern boundary of the C. obscuriorcomplex ( Jacquet et al.2014), this possible range extension awaits further study.
CONSERVATION STATUS. — Crocidura eburneawas included in the IUCN Red List in 2019 and assessed as “Least Concern”.
