The owl pellets contained skulls of about 120 Soricidae, which are now under study by the first author. Among them is a series of thirteen skulls of a remarkable new species of shrew, for which we propose the name Crocidura yankariensis n. sp. HOLOTYPE. Skull of a young adult specimen with occipital region missing, left and right mandibles present, removed from owl pellets collected by Andrew Demeter on 7 August 1978 at Futuk (950'N 1055'E), 16 km E. of the Yankari Game Reserve boundary, Bauchi State, Nigeria; collectors number 32, holotype deposited in the Natural History Museum Budapest, No. HNHM 80. 1. 1. PARATYPES. A further nine skulls from Futuk, all data as for the holotype, collectors numbers 30, 31, 33, 36, 44, 47, 51, 54, 55; three skulls from Wikki (945'N 1030'E), a village in the center of the Yankari Game Reserve (see map in Demeter 1980), collected on 25 July and 11 August 1978 by Andrew Demeter; collectors numbers 67, 99, 100. Part of this material will be deposited in the British Museum (Natural History), London, and the Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut and Museum Alexander Koenig, Bonn.

ZIN 91224; collector's number 31; female, body in ethanol, skull extracted, collected 11 April 2004 by A.V. Abramov. <b>Type locality</b>. Ngoc Linh Mountain, west slope, 1–2 km west of apex, Central Highlands, Kon Tum Province, Vietnam, 15 º05' N, 107 º 57 ' E, altitude 2300 m a.s.l. <b>Paratypes</b>.

All specimens are bodies in ethanol with skulls extracted, collected by A.V. Abramov from the same locality as the holotype, at altitudes from 1650 to 2300 m, between 2–13 April 2004. <b>Diagnosis.</b> Very small in size, comparable only to <i>C. kegoensis</i> and an unnamed species (Lunde, in preparation), and smaller on average in external and cranial measurements than <i>C. wuchihensis</i>. Distinguished from these species by the moderately long tail and the long narrow rostrum and broad interorbital region relative to maxillary breadth of the skull. First upper incisor pro-odont. Third lower molar with a well developed talonid. <b>Description.</b> Very small sized, head and body length 48–58 with a moderately long tail, ranging from 62– 81 % of head and body length. Dorsal pelage gray with a slightly brownish hue, grading into the slightly paler ventral pelage, with individual hairs uniformly coloured from the base to the tips. The tail is similarly coloured to the body, being slightly paler on the ventral surface. The dorsal surfaces of the fore and hind feet are markedly paler than the body, with the lateral surfaces slightly darker brown than the inner surfaces. The dorsal surface of the feet is covered with short hair [...]

Cranially resembles <i>Pongo p. pygmaeus</i> but adult male skulls larger, especially in mandibular dimensions.

This is a longstanding error perpetuated in the primate literature and it is proposed that the attribution of the name to Kuhl (1820) be validated.

The external characters are described for the first time, and distributional records are given for Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia. The species is also compared with C. somalica, and the species-limits of both are defined.

The mitochondrial analysis demonstrated that the type specimen of B. griselda is close to several recently collected specimens from southern Gansu, northern Sichuan and Shaanxi, which are highly distinct from the two species of Asiatic short-tailed shrews of southern Sichuan, Yunnan, and Vietnam, B. quadraticauda and B. wardi. Our analysis of four nuclear genes supported the placement of B. griselda as sister to B. quadraticauda / B. wardi, with the level of divergence between these two clades corresponding * These authors contributed equally to this work and should be considered as co-first authors.
