P. 57-70

An annotated checklist of 32 extant species from 12 genera of the insectivores (Mammalia, Lipotyphla) of Vietnam is provided. Many recently recorded/described species remain known from the territory of Vietnam only: at least seven species of the white-toothed shrews (C. annamitensis, C. guy, C. kegoensis, C. phuquocensis, C. sapaensis, C. sokolovi, C. zaitsevi) and a mole species (Euroscaptor subanura).DOI: 10.15298/rusjtheriol.12.2.01
