The Taiwanese gray shrew (   Crocidura   tanakae   ) and Asian gray shrew (   C.   attenuata   ) are so similar in size and morphology that the taxonomic status of the former has changed several times since its description;    C.   tanakae    has also been regarded as an endemic species of Taiwan Island. In recent years, molecular identification has led to several reports of    C.   tanakae    being distributed in the mainland of China. In this study, we determine the geographical distribution of    C.   attenuata    and    C.   tanakae    based on more than one hundred specimens collected during 2000 to 2018 over a wide area covering the traditional ranges of the two species in the mainland of China, and show a substantial revision of their distributions. Among 110 individuals, 33    C.   attenuata    and 77    C.   tanakae    were identified by  Cytb  gene and morphologies. Our results show, (1)    C.   attenuata    and    C.   tanakae    are distributed sympatrically in the mainland of China; (2) contrary to the previous reports, the distribution range of    C.   attenuata    is restricted and much smaller than that of    C.   tanakae    in the mainland of China; (3) Hainan Island, like Taiwan Island, is inhabited by    C.   tanakae    only according to the present data.
