Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). Discussion: A cranially and externally distinct group of medium-sized savanna shrews. Included in subgenus Afrosorex by Hutterer (1986 a ) . Considerable size variation, however, may indicate that more than one species is included. Karyotypes from Ethiopia (2n = 50; Bannikova et al., 2001 b ) and from Cameroon (2n = 52, FN = 66; Schlitter et al., 1999 ) are different. Specimens recorded as Crocidura butleri percivali from Machakos , Kenya ( Harrison and Bates, 1986 ) represent C. parvipes .
