Crocidura dsinezumi (Temminck, 1843) . In Siebold, Fauna Japonica, 2(Mamm.):26.

TYPE LOCALITY: Japan, Kyushu .

DISTRIBUTION: Japan; Quelpart Isl ( Korea); possibly Taiwan.

SYNONYMS: chisai, hosletti, intermedia, okinoshimae, quelpartis, umbrina.

COMMENTS: The spelling of the name was clarified by Corbet (1978b); dsinezumi was placed on the Official List of Specific Names; see the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (1983). Includes chisai and quelpartis, but not orii ; see Corbet (1978c). Formerly included in russula ; see Jameson and Jones (1977). The subspecies hosletti described by these authors from Taiwan is tentatively included in dsinezumi rather than russula on the basis of published measurements and descriptions.
