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 Korea as S. minutissimus ishikawai based 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 .
