Indochinese short-tailed shrew range

The Indochinese short-tailed shrew (Parablarinella griselda) is a species of mammal of the family Soricidae found in China and Vietnam. ^[2] The species is a semifossorial red-toothed shrew with a stout body and short, slender tail. Although this species was originally classified under Blarinella , recent Cytochrome b analysis suggests this species should be classified under a new genus, ^[3] placing it in Parablarinella alongside one other species. ^[4]
