Head-body 69-84 mm, tail 32-49 mm, ear 9-15 mm, hindfoot 12-16 mm; weight 9-12 g. The Mexican Shrew is relatively large. Dorsum is light grayish brown, with barely lighter venter. There are reports of some specimens with white spots on back either at shoulder or rear. Feet are stout, with long gripping finger and dark pinkish. Tail is ratlike and relatively bare, being somewhat longer than sympatric species (40-60% of head-body length) and dark blackish brown. Snout is long and dark pinkish, with dark brown median ridge extending to tip. Ears are longer than most sympatric species and similar in color to dorsal pelage; eyes are small. Like its relatives in

Primarily highland wet scrubland, pine-oak forests, cloud forests, and coffee fields at elevations of 80-1800 m. Mexican Shrews are rarely captured in lowland regions and are often associated with damp areas under logs and rocks with dense vegetation.

|
||
Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. Although the Mexican Shrew may be resilient and is found in multiple protected areas including Chamela-Cuixmala Biosphere Reserve, it might be threatened by habitat loss from urban and agricultural expansion, especially because 68% of its habitat had been developed and was unsuitable by 2005. It is listed as threatened in Mexico, mostly because of its rarity and few specimens.
