Karyotype studies of common shrews in the vicinity of Lake Baikal (Irkutsk Region, Eastern Siberia) resulted in the description of two new chromosomal races of    Sorex   araneus    Linnaeus, 1758 (  Lypotyphla  ,   Mammalia  ), additional to 5 races formerly found in Siberia. In the karyotypes of 12 specimens from 3 locations, the polymorphism of metacentric and acrocentric chromosomes of the Robertsonian type was recorded and two distinct groups of karyotypes interpreted as the chromosomal races were revealed. They are geographically distant and described under the racial names Irkutsk ( Ir ) and Zima ( Zi ). Karyotypes of both races were characterized by species-specific (the same for all 74 races known so far) metacentric autosomes  af, bc, tu  and  jl , and the typical sex chromosome system – XX/XY 1 Y 2 . The race-specific arm chromosome combinations include three metacentrics and four acrocentrics in the Irkutsk race ( gk, hi, nq, m, o, p, r ) and four metacentrics and two acrocentrics in the Zima race ( gm, hi, ko, nq, p, r ). Within the races, individuals with polymorphic chromosomes were detected ( g/m, k/o, n/q, p/r ). The presence of the specific metacentric  gk  allowed us to include the Irkutsk race into the Siberian Karyotypic Group ( SKG ), distributed in surrounding regions. The Zima race karyotype contained two metacentrics,  gm  and  ko , which have been never found in the Siberian part of the species range, but appear as the common feature of chromosomal races belonging to the West European Karyotypic Group ( WEKG ). Moreover, the metacentrics of that karyotype are almost identical to the Åkarp race (except the heterozygous pair  p/r ) locally found in the southern Sweden. One of two Siberian races described here for the first time, the Zima race, occurs in an area considerably distant from Europe and shares the common metacentrics ( gm, hi, ko ) with races included in  WEKG . This fact may support a hypothesis of independent formation of identical arm chromosome combinations due to occurrence of the same centric fusions in different parts of the species range.
