Head-body 53-85 mm, tail 51-67 mm, ear 5-5-9-5 mm, hindfoot 11-2-14 mm; weight 7-5-11 g. The Taita Shrew is small to medium-sized, with soft, smooth, and short fur. Males are usually considerably larger than females. Dorsum is gray (hairs with gray bases and brown tips); venteris paler gray. Head is broad; muzzle is pink, covered with long white clear vibrissae; eyes are small; and ears are large, ovalshaped, nearly barren of hair, and pale (nearly white). Feet have five digits and short conspicuously white claws, and they are covered with short fine white hair. Tail is ¢.78% of head-body length, thin, and covered with dirty whitish fine hair. The Taita Shrew has been primarily differentiated from the Greater Dwarf Shrew (S.

Classified as Endangered on The IUCN Red List. The Taita Shrew is relatively common in its degraded, highly fragmented, and small distribution. Its extent of occurrence is only ¢.880 km? and all specimens are from two localities occurring in fewer than five locations in the Taita Hills. It seems to be somewhat resilient but is certainly threatened by general habitat destruction and fragmentation throughout its distribution.
