). These shrews have a rather stout body and enlarged foreclaws. The dorsal pelage of the shrews varies in colour, from brown to almost black, ventral pelage slighter paler than the dorsum. The pinnae are small, but visible. The tail is about half the head and body length (TL/HB = 4374%) and gently tapered; the tail is not sharply bicolored, and is similar in colour to the dorsal and ventral fur. The skull is robust and bony, and the coronoid process is spatulate. The dental formula of the genus is: I 3/2, C 1/0, P 2/1, M 3/3 (×2) = 30, following the tooth nomenclature of

The lambdoidal crest is modestly developed, and the sagittal crest is indistinct. The basioccipital and basisphenoid are fused and narrowed markedly in the middle region, forming a thread-like structure. The coronoid process is robust with a spatulate tip, rising straight upwards. The condyloid process is heavy, forming an angle at roughly 45° with the coronoid process. The angular process is long, straight, and very thin.
