Discussion:
Placed in monotypic subgenus
Ognevia
by
Heptner and Dolgov (1967)
, who demonstrated that
mirabilis
is not conspecific with
pacificus
, as had been suggested earlier (
Bobrinskii et al., 1965
).
Hutterer (1982
b
)
suggested a closer relationship with
Sorex (Homalurus) alpinus
because of shared derived features of genital morphology. Karyotype has 2n = 38, FN = 66 (
Zima et al., 1998
).
