Soriculus Blyth, 1854 . J. Asiatic Soc. Bengal, 23:733.

TYPE SPECIES: Corsira nigrescens Gray, 1842 .

SYNONYMS: Chodsigoa, Episoriculus .

COMMENTS: Subfamily Soricinae, tribe Neomyini; see Repenning (1967:45). Reumer (1984:14) claimed that Soriculini Kretzoi, 1965, has priority over Neomyini Repenning, 1965, however, Neomyini Matschie, 1909, has priority over both. Includes Chodsigoa and Episoriculus as subgenera; see Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951) and Corbet (1978c:24); but also see Repenning (1967:52) and Jameson and Jones (1977:474-475), who considered Episoriculus a distinct genus. Gureev (1979:450-452) erroneously listed Chodsigoa as a subgenus of Notiosorex. Genus reviewed by Hoffmann (1985b).
