Blarinella quadraticauda
Milne-Edwards, 1872
Two specimens
were collected from two trapping sites set at altitudes of
1500–1600 m
and
1800–1900 m
(
Table 1
). The specimens were collected from disturbed forest and the Chinese cardamom plantation. This species was formerly classified as
B
.
griselda
but is now regarded as
B
.
quadraticauda
(
Bannikova
et al.
, 2019
)
after taxonomic revisions of the genus
Blarinella
(
He
et al.
, 2018
;
Bannikova
et al.
, 2019
).
Lunde
et al.
(2003)
reported
B
.
griselda
from
1500–1600 m
and
1700 m
, thus the altitudinal range on Mt. Tay Con Linh is regarded as
1500–1900 m
.
Blarinella quadraticauda
is distributed in central and southwestern
China
and northern
Vietnam
(
Bannikova
et al.
, 2019
).
