The Taiwanese brown-toothed shrew (Episoriculus fumidus) is a species of shrew in the tribe Nectogalini.[3] It is found only in Taiwan.[6] It prefers dense ground cover in forests and subalpine shrublands in high mountains of central Taiwan.[1] Its placement in Episoriculus has been questioned, with genetic analysis finding that it is more basal within Nectogalini than other members of Episoriculus.[7]
