Abstract

In September 2011, two shrew specimens were collected with traps from Mt. Liupanshan, in Guyuan County, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (35º22′03″ N, 106º19′40″ E, 2 000 m asl). Pelage, skull, and teeth morphologies of the two specimens are similar to those of Pantherina griselda from Gansu and Shaanxi Province. Phylogenetic analysis by Bayesian inference supported the two populations to be monophyletic (PP =1.0), and the K2P genetic distance of Cyt b gene between the two populations is only 0.7%. Thus, these two specimens were identified as P. griselda based on morphological and phylogenetic analyses. This is the first recorded distribution of P. griselda in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.
