COMMON NAME. — African Giant White-toothed Shrew, Olivier’s Shrew.
MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Apesokubi • 1 ♀; Sherman trap in forest; ZFMK 2003.1089 About ZFMK . Liati Wote (Tagbo Falls) • 1?; Sherman trap between buttress roots in forest; ZFMK 2003.1090 About ZFMK .
REMARK
This species was previously known from several localities in the Volta Region ( Grubb et al. 1998). In their Kyabobo expedition report Hurst et al. (1995) mention several individuals of this large shrew (as C. flavescens ) from KRNP, but we did not encounter it there. Our specimen from Liati Wote (ZFMK 2003.1090) was included in a recent phylogeographic study of C. olivieri ( Jacquet et al. 2015) and grouped with their Clade IIB with Dahomey Gap specimens from Togo and Benin.
CONSERVATION STATUS. — Crocidura olivieri is listed as “Least Concern” on the IUCN Red List.
