New Materials to the Knowledge of the Genus Shikamainosorex Hasegawa 1957 (Insectivora, Mammalia)
Abstract:
Shikamainosorex densicingulata Hasegawa, 1957 (Soricinae, Blarinini), hitherto known from a single mandibular fragment, is described in detail and its systematic position discussed. New material, including a complete set of upper teeth, comes from three Japanese localities, the Ando Quarry, Okada Quarry and Yoshizawa Sekkai, all of them lying in Honshu Island and referred to the Middle or Late Pleistocene. A list of finds of fossil insectivores in Japan is also given.
