Thomas's small-eared shrew (Cryptotis thomasi) is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
The genus Cryptotis is a group of relatively small shrews with short ears, which are usually not visible, and short tails, commonly called small-eared shrews. They have 30 teeth and are members of the red-toothed shrew subfamily. Since 1992, Neal Woodman at the United States National Museum has been in the process of revising the genus. To date, this has resulted in an increase in the number of species from 12 to 30.
