The 4 unicuspid is larger in S. hututsi and not deflected medially as in S. remyi (Fig. 6). very narrow from front to back in S. hu- tutsi vs. more broad in S. remyi. Diagnostic differen- ces with small Afrotropical Suncus, including Suncus remyi, are presented in Tab

The 4 unicuspid is larger in S. hututsi and not deflected medially as in S. remyi (Fig. 6). very narrow from front to back in S. hu- tutsi vs. more broad in S. remyi. Diagnostic differen- ces with small Afrotropical Suncus, including Suncus remyi, are presented in Table 3. Suncus infinitesimus Suncus hututsi is distinguished from S. infinitesimus by its dark gray/black dorsum that contrasts the lat- ters' broccoli brown pelage. Its belly is dark and de- void of the white-tipped slate hairs of Suncus infini- tesimus. Tail longer (28-33 mm, avg 31 mm, n = 5 vs. 24-26 mm; Table 3). Tail covered with long bristle hairs for 45-65 % of its length, instead of 90-100 % in 5. infinitesimus. Hands and feet darker in color due to being more densely haired. Lateral glands are dark brown not white as in infinitesimus. Braincase more hexagonal in S. hututsi vs the more elongate and rectangular outline of S. infinitesimus. These braincase proportions are reflected in the following ratio: greatest width/condylo-incisive length proportio- nately broader in S. hututsi compared to 5. infinitesi- mus ( vs ).The outline of the maxilla is more broad and straight in S. hututsi ys. the more 'sinuous' profile of S. infinitesimus (Brosset et al. 1965, p 172). Upper tooth row shorter in 5. hu- tutsi ( mm) vs. S. infinitesimus ( mm) especially due to shorter incisor through canine (4* unicuspid). Proportions of the second unicuspid similar to S. infinitesimus. First maxillary incisor is more lightly built and more procumbent (due to a more concave rostrum) than in S. infinitesimus. TABLE 5.
