Distribution: Most of Europe including the British Isls and eastwards to Lake Baikal, Yenisei River ( Russia), Tien Shan ( China), and NW Mongolia; disjunct in Sakhalin Isl and adjacent Siberia, Jilin ( China), and N Korea.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Includes orientis and watasei as possible subspecies ( Hoffmann, 1987; Ognev, 1928; Yudin, 1989). Many of the listed synonyms have never been properly studied and identified and a meaningful subspecific division of the species is not possible yet. Recently, Lehmann (1983) referred constrictus to Crocidura russula . The form niethammeri from NE Spain may represent a valid species (Bühler, 1996; López-Fuster et al., 1990). Neomys newtoni Hinton, 1911 is regarded as an extinct Pleistocene species; see Rzebik-Kowalska (1998). Neomys intermedius Brunner, 1952 was identified as a chronosubspecies of N. fodiens by Schaefer (1973); the name, however, is not available. Karyotypes of N. fodiens from Sweden to Mongolia were consistantly 2n = 52, FN = 98 ( Zima et al., 1998).
