The Kozlov shrew ( Sorex kozlovi ) is a cryptic shrew from the genus of the red- toothed shrew ( Sorex ). It is only known from a survey of the fauna of the Sequ river and the Mekong from Tibet ; there is no further information on the species. The species status is questioned by several authors and it is assigned to the Tibetan shrew ( S. thibetanus ) as a subspecies, including in the reference work A Guide to the Mammals of China , edited by Andrew T. Smith and Yan Xie 2008.
