C. lasiura lasiura : Won, 1958 p.452 ; Won, 1967 p.277 ; Yoon, 1992 p.26 . Range: C. lasiura ranges throughout Korea , except remote islands (3 rd National Nature-Environmental Survey 2006–2013 unpublished electronic data; Fig. 7 ). FIGURE 7. Range map of Crocidura lasiura in Korea. Remarks: Previously, C . lasiura in Korea subsumed to three subspecies, C. l. lasiura Dobson, 1890 , C. l. thomasi Sowerby, 1917 and C. l. yamashinai Kuroda, 1934 ( Jones & Johnson 1960 ; Won 1968 ). However, the taxonomic status of C. lasiura in East Asia was recently converted to a monotypic species ( Hutterer 2005b ). Koh et al . (2014c) supported subspecific classification of C. l. thomasi for populations of Korea based on genetic differences between populations in China and Korea . Conservation status: Gwangju metropolitan City and Gyeonggi Province designated the Ussuri white-toothed shrew as a provincially protected species, due to locally decreasing populations.
