Myosorex rumpii Heim de Balsac 1968

Myosorex rumpii Heim de Balsac 1968, Bonn. Zool. Beitr., Vol. 19: 20.

Type Locality: Cameroon, "Rumpi-Hills, 1100 mètres".

Vernacular Names: Rumpi Mouse Shrew.

Distribution: Known only from the type locality.

Conservation: IUCN – Critically Endangered.

Discussion: The holotype and only known specimen is so unique (Heim de Balsac, 1968 b, fig. 4) that it is considered to represent a valid species. Heim de Balsac (1968 b) himself was uncertain about the status of this taxon; while he formally named it M. eisentrauti rumpii, he labeled all figures and the map with " Myosorex rumpii ".
