Sorex (Otisorex) milleri Jackson 1947 View in CoL , Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 60: 131.

Type Locality: "Madera Camp, altitude 8,000 feet [2438 m], Carmen Mountains, Coahuila, Mexico ".

Vernacular Names: Carmen Mountain Shrew.

Distribution: Restricted to the Sierra Madre Oriental of Coahuila and Nuevo Leon, Mexico.

Conservation: IUCN – Vulnerable.

Discussion: Subgenus Otisorex . Controversial opinions on the systematic status of milleri exist; Findley (1955 a) regarded it as a morphologically distinct relict population allied to cinereus and accepted its specific status, as did Hall (1981) and Junge and Hoffmann (1981); while van Zyll de Jong and Kirkland (1989) suggested that milleri may not merit full specific status.
