 Comments
       
  Comment: Comments: Subgenus Sorex, S. arcticus group. Karyotype has 2n = 28/29, FN = 34. Van Zyll de Jong (1983b) and Volobouev and van Zyll de Jong (1988) suggested that maritimensis may be an independent species. Genetic data provided by Stewart et al. (2002) support that view. They suggest that S. arcticus and S. maritimensis shared a common ancestor approximately 2.4 million years ago  
    Status: Conservation status requires evaluation (Stewart et al., 2002)
