Examples of "diplomesodon"
The piebald shrew ("
Diplomesodon
pulchellum") is a shrew found in the Turan Lowland east of the Caspian Sea in Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. It grows to 2–2 inches in length, and usually hunts for insects and lizards at night. It is the only extant member of the genus
Diplomesodon
. In 2011, A. Cheke described a new and possibly extinct species based on a 19th-century manuscript: "
Diplomesodon
sonnerati" (Sonnerat's shrew).
The dental formulas of shrews are distinguished by the number of unicuspids. All shrews have (in one half of each jaw) one large incisor followed by a variable number of unicuspids, followed by a complex premolar, followed by three molars. All shrews except for those of the genus "Myosorex" have one lower unicuspid; "Myosorex" has two. The genera "Blarina", "Blarinella", and "Sorex" have five upper unicuspids. The genera "Myosorex", "Feroculus", "Scutisorex", "Suncus", "Sylvisorex", "Ruwenzorisorex", "Cryptotis", "Neomys", "Soriculus", and "Episoriculus" have four upper unicuspids. The genera "Congosorex", "Surdisorex", "Solisorex", "Paracrocidura", "Crocidura", "Chimarrogale", "Chodsigoa", "Megasorex", "Nectogale", and "Notiosorex" have three upper unicuspids. The genera "
Diplomesodon
" and "Anourosorex" have two upper unicuspids.
