This species has been regarded as a synonym of Soriculus (Episoriculus) fumidus Thomas, 1913 because of insufficient information. The diagnostic features of Soriculus (Chodsigoa) sodalis, such as 3 upper unicuspid teeth, have been considered as a variation of S. (E.) fumidus. Recently we obtained 4 additional specimens from montane areas of Taiwan. In this paper, we confirm S. (C.) sodalis as a valid species and describe its external features for the first time.Soriculus (Chodsigoa) sodalis; Soriculus (Episoriculus) fumidus; Taiwan; TaxonomyEpisoriculus fumidus; Insectivora; Mammalia; Sodalis; Soricidae; Soriculus sodalisreview2-s2.0-0041107218
