Crocidura phanluongi is a species of shrew in the genus Crocidura from southern Vietnam and nearby Cambodia. It is a somewhat small, gray shrew with an ecologically diverse distribution.
Taxonomy
Crocidura phanluongi was first collected in 2006 in
Đắk Lắk Province, Vietnam. The description appeared in Zootaxa on January 27, 2010.[3] Six other new species of Crocidura have been described from Vietnam since 2004.[fn 1] The specific name, phanluongi, honors Vietnamese biologist Phan Luong, who participated in the survey that resulted in the discovery of C. phanluongi.[5]
Description
Crocidura phanluongi is a small to medium-sized shrew with a relatively long tail. The fur is dark gray above and somewhat paler below. The upper surfaces of the feet are even paler.talonid of the lower third molar is reduced.[6]
Ecology and behavior
Crocidura phanluongi has a relatively broad distribution, extending through at least three ecoregions—southeastern Indochina dry evergreen forests, central Indochina dry forests, and southern Vietnam lowland dry forests. All specimens were caught in forest.[8]
