HBL averaging +85.5 mm +; body mass averaging +14 g +; condylobasal length averaging +22.34 mm +; short tail with an average length of +33.7 mm +, or about 39.92% of the head and body length. Pelage is dense with a darker back and a paler belly, dorsal side is deep olive to metallic bronze color ( +Fig. 9 +), ventral side is a drab citrine color, and hairs are bicolored with a gray base and clearer tips. Ear pinnae are reduced and covered with fur, and the helix, antihelix, and antitragus are poorly developed. Short mystacial vibrissae extend to the anterior edge of the ear. Ventral part of the toes has well-developed granular scales arranged in two longitudinal rows. Claws are long ( +2.5 mm +) and curved, and the thenar pad is developed in the rear position in relation to the hypothenar pad. Skull is moderately inflated and hexagonal in the dorsal view, and the frontooccipital suture is rounded to triangular. Interorbital area is comparatively wide (24.78% of the CBL) and in the dorsal view, it is parallel while the anterior border of the nasal lacks a spine-shaped process. Optic foramina are partially visible in a lateral view. Rostrum is comparatively long (45% of CBL) and the zygomatic plate is moderately wide (10.04% of the CBL). Secondary cusp of the upper incisors is much reduced to about one-third the size of the anterior cusp. Molar hypocone shows a lower development. Entoconids are usually absent and the mesopterygoid fossae are short. U4 are reduced to one-third to one-fourth the size of the unicuspids and are not visible in the labial view and are not in line with other unicuspids. M3 complex. Premolars with protocone are developed but do not have a paraconule. Posterior border of the lower incisor reaches the anterior border of P4. There are two dorsal foramina along the suture between the right and left frontal, and the right is partially obliterated. Mandible has a short posterior region and the sigmoid notches are shallow. Coronoid process is large, high, and leaning back. An upper maxillary row has moderately long unicuspid teeth (11.06% of the CBL).

The interorbital of the + +C. evaristoi + +is parallel in dorsal view and not convergent as in + +C. montivaga + +. The fourth unicuspid is not in line with other unicuspids, and the posterior border of the lower incisor reaches the anterior border of PM4, whereas the position is variable for the + +C. montivaga + +.

Photograph by C.E. Medina on September 26, 2009. + + + +Habitat. + +Cryptotis +evaristoi + +inhabits the páramo and montane forest of the Tabaconas Namballe National Sanctuary. The páramo is located above +3,000 m +and is characterized by vegetation adapted to extreme weather conditions such as high daily temperature variations, organic-rich volcanic soils, a high capacity for water regulation, and a high level of endemic species (Mena-Vásconez and Hofstede 2006). We conducted our study in September and October of 2009 at two localities in the SNTN. Our first study site, in the Lagunas Arrebiatadas ( +5° 12´S +and +79° 18´W +; +3,200–3,280 m +above sea level), had high humidity and was representative of the Andean páramo. The dominant vegetation was herbaceous (genera + +Chaptalia + +, + +Dorobaea + +, + +Valeriana + +, + +Begonia +, +Sisyrinchum + +, + +Calamagrostis + +, + +Festuca + +and + +Neurolepis + +); shrub (genera + +Hypericum + +, + +Desfontainia + +, + +Brachyotum +, +Miconia, Tibouchinia + +, + +Loricaria, Baccharis, Senecio +, + +and +Diplostephyum +); and pteridophytes or vascular cryptogams (genera + +Huperzia, Lycopodium, Elaphoglossum, Cyathea, Blecnum +, + +and + +Selaginella + +). The second study site, the Miraflores ( +5° 12´S +and +79° 12´W +; +2,700–2,970 m +above sea level) was characterized by elfin forest and north Andean evergreen forests consisting of thin branched trees covered with mosses and epiphytes.
