The first record of the white-toothed rock shrew from “pergrisea” complex (Mammalia: Soricidae: Crocidura) on the territory of Russian Federation Stakheev V.V., Lissovsky A.A., Obolenskaya E.V. P. 25-30 The white-toothed shrew (Crocidura) from the species complex “pergrisea” was found in the Dagestan Republic, it is the first registration for the territory of Russian Federation. Information on the morphology of two captured animals, external and cranial features, is provided. The position of white-toothed shrews from the northern slope of Caucasus Mts. in the phylogenetic structure of “pergrisea” complex was studied. The clade that includes C. serezkyensis s.str., C. arispa and rock shrews from Dagestan was proposed to recognise as a separate species — Crocidura serezkyensis Laptev, 1929.
