About this species

Range
China (checklists also list Vietnam)

The Asiatic short-tailed shrew is one of three species of shrew in the genus Blarinella, in the family Soricidae. The cached account describes it as endemic to China, though some checklists also list Vietnam (Wikipedia, general species account).

The cached account is very short and gives no description, habitat, diet or breeding information, so this entry is limited to identification and range.
