Type Locality: Indonesia, Java, Mount Lawu, near Surakarta.

Vernacular Names: Sunda Shrew.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc) as C. monticola, Data Deficient as C. minuta .

Discussion: Revised by Jenkins (1982) and Ruedi (1995); latter author included also maxi as a synonym. However, Kitchener et al. (1994 a) recognized maxi and monticola and defined the range as given above. C. minuta was listed as a species in the previous edition (Hutterer, 1993 a); the name is most probably a synonym of monticola; see Jenkins (1982) and Ruedi (1995).
