Suncus malayanus (Kloss, 1917) . J. Nat. Hist. Soc. Siam, 2:282.

TYPE LOCALITY: Thailand, "Bang Nara, Patani, Peninsular Siam " .

DISTRIBUTION: Malaysian peninsula.

COMMENTS: Commonly included in etruscus but inhabits tropical forest and does not fit morphologically with the diagnosis of that species; malayanus is therefore regarded as a species, as was done by Corbet and Hill (1991:36).
