Treatment

Sorex excelsus G. M. Allen, 1923 . Am. Mus. Novit., 100:4.

TYPE LOCALITY: "summit of Ho-shan (=Xue Shan), Pae-tai, 30 miles (48 km) south of Chungtien (=Zhongdian), Yunnan, China, altitude 13000 feet."

DISTRIBUTION: Yunnan and Sichuan ( China), and possibly Nepal.

COMMENTS: Subgenus Sorex . Considered as a possible subspecies of asper ( Corbet, 1978c) but retained as a full species related to tundrensis by Hoffmann (1987) who also suggested that a specimen from Nepal recorded by Agrawal and Chakraborty (1971) may represent excelsus .
