Lond., 1904(10): 12 . TYPE SPECIES: Crocidura morio Gray, 1862 . COMMENTS: Subfamily Crocidurinae ; see Repenning (1967:15) . The genus was regarded as part of Suncus by Smithers and Tello (1976) , but was retained by Ansell (1978) ; it may be polyphyletic and its relation to Suncus requires further study. Jenkins (1984) figured and discussed most of the species listed.
