Abstract

Insectivorous animal is the third mammalian group with greater species richness. However, the study of this group was very limited in Henan Province, China. In the current study, we identified 2 male shrews collected from Longyuwan area (33° 42' N, 111° 45' E) of Luanchuan, Henan Province, China using morphological characters and the results from molecular experiments. The trapped shrews were classified as Chodsigoa hypsibia de Winton, 1899, which was a new genus and species record of insectivorous animals in Henan Province, China. The specimens (ID: IBE2019082101, IBE20190822) were stored at the Institute of Biodiversity and Ecology, Zhengzhou University.
