Cryptotis tropicalis

The tropical small-eared shrew (Cryptotis tropicalis ) is a very small mammal of the family Soricidae. The species is found in the eastern highlands of Chiapas, Mexico, and parts of Belize and Guatemala. Until recently, it was considered a subspecies of the North American least shrew (C. parva ), but it has gained species status. Its relationship with the Central American least shrew (C. orophila ) remains to be studied.
