Sorex minutissimus Zimmermann, 1780 p.385; Typelocality-Yenisei, Russia; Han, 1994 p.45; Won & Smith, 1999 p.10; Han, 2004a p.33. S. minutissimus ishikawai Yoshiyuki, 1988 p.152; Yoon, 1992 p.18.
Range:Only five specimens of the Eurasian least shrew were collected in Korea. The records came from collections made around Mt. Seorak and Odae ( Han 2004a; Fig. 13).
Remarks: Yoshiyuki (1988)subsumed the population in Koreaas S. minutissimus ishikawaibased on specimens collected at Mt. Odae, but other mammalogists did not recognize the subspecies name ( Yoon 1992; Won & Smith 1999; Han 2004a). Additional research on this taxon is needed to delineate its distribution and taxonomy in Korea.
