The West African pygmy shrew or obscure white-toothed shrew (Crocidura obscurior) is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is found in Ivory Coast, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.[2]
The Ivory Coast white-toothed shrew (C. eburnea), which is sympatric with C. obscurior in Ivory Coast, Liberia & Guinea, and closely resembles it aside from having a longer skull, was considered conspecific with C. obscurior until a 2014 study delineated both as being genetically distinct sister species to one another.[3]
