The white-toothed shrews or Crocidurinae are one of three subfamilies of the shrew family Soricidae.
The Negros shrew is a white-toothed shrew found only on the island of Negros in the Philippines. It is locally called the katsurí and is listed as an endangered species due to habitat loss and a restricted range.
The genus Crocidura is one of nine genera of the shrew subfamily Crocidurinae. Members of the genus are commonly called white-toothed shrews or musk shrews, although both also apply to all of the species in the subfamily. With over 180 species, Crocidura contains the most species of any mammal genus. The name Crocidura means "woolly tail", because the tail of Crocidura species are covered in short hairs interspersed with longer ones.
The Mindanao shrew is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is endemic to the Philippines. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests.
The Luzon shrew is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is endemic to the Philippines.
The Sulawesi shrew is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is endemic to the central and northern provinces of Sulawesi in Indonesia. It is a fairly common species and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of "least concern".
