    Abstract:

    Three shrew specimens were collected from a conifer-broadleaf forest in the Taiping Lake National Wetland Park, Huangshan (30°34′42″ N, 118°41′47″ E) and Ejiaqiao, Jingde, Xuancheng (30°21′26″ N, 118°30′11″ E), Anhui Province, in November 2018. These specimens are small with a mean weight of 12 g (11﹣14 g). Their dorsal pelage is dark grey and ventral pelage is slightly paler grey. The tail is bicolored, short and strong, with the proximal 2/3 covered by silver vibrissae. These morphological characters are similar with Crocidura tanakae. The maximum likelihood tree based on the Cytochrome b sequences shows these individuals belong to the same monophyletic clade with C. tanakae (BS = 100%). The genetic distance between the population in Anhui and Taiwan is only 0.76%﹣0.85%. These results suggested the three specimens were C. tanakae, a new record of mammals in Anhui Province and East China.
