This rare shrew described from N Uganda as of a new genus, was not found again undl 1963, when Hayman sought advice from Balsac, over such a spec- imen from Angola. Despite characteristic delicate dentition and extended braincase, Hollister (1918), Balsac & Verschuren (1968), and subsequent authors rejected its generic separation, although Hutterer (1993) retained it as a subgenus. Only 2 dozen specimens are known today (half of them from owl pellets), occurring from Cameroon and N Angola through eastern D. R. Congo, Rwanda, Tanz
