Abstract

An inventory of the insectivorous mammal fauna of the Ba Vi National Park (northern Vietnam) based on the 1993–2013 surveys was conducted. A total of five species of Eulipotyphla were found in different types of the montane broad-leafed and mixed forests and anthropogenic habitats at the altitudes 50–1000 m a.s.l. New faunistic records of the short-tailed mole Euroscaptor subanura, the Etruscan shrew Suncus etruscus and the Taiwanese gray shrew Crocidura tanakae from Vietnam are reported.
