 Comments
       
  Comment: Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc) as Soriculus fumidus  
    Comments: Formerly included in caudatus by Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951:59), but see Jameson and Jones (1977:474) and Hoffmann (1985b), who included sodalis (now in Chodsigoa) in fumidus. Motokawa et al. (1998) described the karyotype (2n = 64, FN = 116) and distribution of Episoriculus fumidus that occurs symatrically with Chodsigoa sodalis in Taiwan. A RNA sequence was published by Querouil et al. (2001) and Corneli (2002) under the name Soriculus fumidus
