Treatment

Crocidura obscurior Heim de Balsac, 1958 . Mém. Inst. fr. Afr. noire, 53:328.

TYPE LOCALITY: Guinea, Mt. Nimba, montane prairie .

DISTRIBUTION: Sierra Leone to Ivory Coast; possibly Nigeria.

COMMENTS: Described with some doubt as a subspecies of bottegi , but its almost sympatric distribution, a longer skull ( Hutterer and Happold, 1983), and a different karyotype (Maddalena, pers. comm.) clearly distinguish it.
