Crocidura hutanis Ruedi and Vogel 1995, Experientia, 51: 175.

Type Locality: Indonesia, N Sumatra, Aceh, Gunung Leuser N.P., Alas Valley (300 m), Ketambe (03°31'N, 97°46'E).

Vernacular Names: Hutan Shrew.

Distribution: Lowland forest in N and W Sumatra.

Discussion: A report by Ruedi and Vogel (1995:175) presenting the new name, the diagnostic karyotype (2n = 36-38, FN = 54), the type locality (Ketambe, N Sumatra), specimen catalog numbers, and a comparison with other SE Asian species appeared earlier in print (February, 1995) than the full taxonomic description by Ruedi (November, 1995:227), and thus constitutes the first valid description.
