Crocidura olivieri
(Lesson, 1827)
ssp.
manni
Peters, 1878
Paralectotypes
: ZMB 5253, female, body in alcohol, skull extracted; ZMB 5254, juvenile in alcohol. Both specimens were collected by
Mann
from Lagos,
Nigeria
and given to the ZMB by F. Krauss (Stuttgart). Comments: Other elements of the
type
series are located in the SMNS (Stuttgart). Peters (1878) described three females, one of which was gravid with three embryos, given to him by Krauss of the Stuttgart Museum.
Presumably one of the females and a neonate remained in Berlin. Hutterer and Happold (1983: 42) designated the specimen SMNS 1646a as
lectotype
.
