the two can be separated by cranial marks, dentition, pelage color and mitochondrial differences. In 1901, G. S. Miller described two species from Sicily which could be separated by differences in tail length and skull size. However, P. Vogel and others in 1989 proved that both types belong to the same species and so caudata is now regarded as synonymous with

Head-body 50-79 mm, tail 28-45 mm, ear 6-10-5 mm, hindfoot 11-13-5 mm; weight 4-10-5 g. There are minor differencesin size between several populations. Races aegatensisand calypsoare smaller than the nominate and can be differentiated by genetic marks and morphological average values (e.g. body length, weight, mandible biometry); shrews from smaller islands are mostly shorter. Dorsal pelage is gray-brown and ventral whitish gray to white, with a clear dividing line on the flanks. Tail is distinctly bicolored, and usually has a white spot at the tip. Foreand hindfeet are whitish, or on Gozo bright white. Young animals are richer in color contrast than older individuals. The population from Ustica is melanistic with dark gray-brown to gray-black fur, without the white spot on the tail; this might be an adaptation to the volcanic environment. Tips of the second and third upper unicuspid are usually in line with the tip ofthe massive, brick-like parastyle of the upper premolar. In
