In this study,a new species of white-toothed shrew,Crocidura huangshanensis Yang,BW Zhang & Li,sp.nov.was described based on five individuals collected from the Mt.Huang of China.Its morphological data and mtDNA sequences (Cyt b) were analyzed.Morphologically,C.huangshanensis Yang,BW Zhang & Li,sp.nov.is different from its congeners (C anhuiensis and C attenuata) by the body and skull smaller in size and the premolar and molar smoother,which are also different from other Southeast Asian Crocidura.The phylogenetic analysis shows that all individuals of C.huangshanensis Yang,BW Zhang & Li,sp.nov.merged into a single clade.In addition,the genetic distance between C.huangshanensis Yang,BW Zhang & Li,sp.nov.and other species of Crocidura is ranged from 9.8％ to 15.3％,indicating a species-level divergence.The new species is currently distributed in the Wild Monkey Valley,located in Mt.Huang,China.
