TYPE SPECIES: Corsira nigrescens Gray, 1842 . SYNONYMS: Chodsigoa, Episoriculus . COMMENTS: Subfamily Soricinae , tribe Neomyini ; see Repenning (1967:45) . Reumer (1984:14) claimed that Soriculini Kretzoi, 1965, has priority over Neomyini Repenning , 1965, however, Neomyini Matschie, 1909, has priority over both. Includes Chodsigoa and Episoriculus as subgenera; see Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951) and Corbet (1978c:24) ; but also see Repenning (1967:52) and Jameson and Jones (1977:474-475) , who considered Episoriculus a distinct genus. Gureev (1979:450-452) erroneously listed Chodsigoa as a subgenus of Notiosorex. Genus reviewed by Hoffmann (1985b) .
