Species
[edit | edit source]Currently, the four identified species of the genus Episoriculus include:[12][13]
- Hodgson's brown-toothed shrew (E. caudatus)
- E. c. sacratus
- E. c. umbrinus
- Taiwanese brown-toothed shrew (E. fumidus)
- Long-tailed brown-toothed shrew (E. leucops)
- E. l. leucops
- E. l. baileyi
- Long-tailed mountain shrew (E. macrurus)
The monophyly of the genus has been questioned, as E. fumidus has been found to be only distantly related to other species in the genus.
