  <dc:description>A small series of shrews collected in Guatemala and registered in the British Museum between 1843 and 1907 includes parts of type series for three species: &lt;i&gt;Corsira tropicalis&lt;/i&gt; Gray (1843), &lt;i&gt;Sorex micrurus&lt;/i&gt; Tomes (1862), and &lt;i&gt;Blarina tropicalis&lt;/i&gt; Merriam (1895). These three names are now considered equivalent, but my recent review of the specimens comprising the series indicates that they include three distinct species: &lt;i&gt;Cryptotis merriami&lt;/i&gt; Choate (1970), &lt;i&gt;Cryptotis oreoryctes&lt;/i&gt; Woodman (2011), and &lt;i&gt;Cryptotis tropicalis&lt;/i&gt; (Merriam 1895). I review the taxonomic history of these specimens, provide current identifications tied directly to museum register numbers, describe how to distinguish the three species, and provide revised synonymies for these species.</dc:description>
