A taxonomic study of small mammals(Erinaceomorpha, Soricomorpha and Rodentia) was conducted in order to find out the scientific names which have been used in Korea. The synonymy of each species and taxonomical research was reviewed and confirmed in this study. The species names are rearranged based on recent studies. Among the various confused names, available names were adopted such as follows:
C. shantungensis shantungensis
known as
Crocidura suaveolens
;
C. shantungensis quelpartis
known as
C. dsinezumi
;
Rattus tanezumi
known as
R. rattus
, called black rat, roof rat and ship rat, respectively.
Apodemus sylvaticus
(Muridae, wood mouse) is excluded in the checklist based on indistinct previous records and ambiguous habitation on the Korean Peninsula, and neighbors. In addition, we provide a new Korean vernacular name for
Myocastor coypus
, called the “Nutria” in Korea. We reflect that several species are repositioned to other genera. A checklist of Korean small mammals and synonym list for each species is provided to avoid confusion of scientific names in Korea. In this study, the list of small mammals in Korea is arranged to 33 species, 20 genera, 8 families, and 3 orders.
Small mammals such as rodents, voles, hamsters, and shrews, are related to human life in terms of pets and disease. Hence, there has been a lot of study of this group in many countries. Rodentia is the largest mammalian order, accounting for 42% of mammals in the world, and has over worldwide distribution comprising about 2,277 species(Carleton and Musser, 2005).Many local names and subspecies names have been used in the past century in Korea because many species have a wide distribution (Woon, 1967; Won, 1968; Yoon et al., 2004). Korean species of small mammals have been insufficiently described without such as keys and diagnostic description between siblings or near species in the past, but recently they are being rearranged by many studies analyzing molecular genes. Several species of Rodentia and Soricomorpha from Korea and neighboring countries were reexamined from the results of analyses using rRNA and mtDNA sequences by Koh et al.(2000, 2008a, 2008b, 2009b, 2010, 2012a, 2012b, 2013). Phylogenetic relationships of Korean Rodentia was performed by Jung et al.(2010), based on mtDNA and nuclear DNA. Additionally, taxonomic positions of several Soricidae in Korea were studied by several researchers: Ohdachi et al. (2003, 2004, 2005, 2012), Tatsuo et al.(2005), and Kartavtseva and Park(2010).The order Insectivora has been divided into several orders by phylogenetic systematics studies (Stanhope et al., 1998; Asher, 1999, 2001). The species of Insectivora in Korea belong to two orders: Erinaceomorpha, and Soricomorpha. Practically,the Insectivora are asserted to be a polyphyletic group, and the word has not been used in scholarly papers ever since Hutterer’s paper(1993) (Hutterer, 2005). However, most of the researchers investigating the natural environment in Korea have been using the list provided from the Ministry of Environment in 2006(Kim YK, personal communication). Many taxonomic changes have occurred with the development of molecular systematics in the 2000s. As a result, scientific names are confused with many synonyms these days. Websites for mammal taxonomy in many countries are going to reflect these recent studies.These days of vigorous international trade in biological resources are producing the megadata for the management of global biodiversity and providing data directly to the general public. These data are used to do the fundamental listing for international conventions such as IUCN Red-List, and fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of genetic resources in each country. In particular, a clear concept of the species, that is, the current valid scientific name, essential element for interests between countries. The comprehensive rearrangement of the kinds of small mammals inhabiting the Korean Peninsula is needed in order to reflect the newly known results of studies, since taxonomic studies are reported fragmentarily at local levels, such as comparisons about genetic independence between sibling species or lower taxa levels.Therefore, in this study, the checklist of the Korean mammals was rearranged based on recently available publications and synonymic lists about each species in Korea.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A literature search was undertaken to determining out the distributional history of Korean small mammals. First, the general distribution and basis of the list mainly depend on Woon (1967) and Yoon et al. (2004). Additionally, bibliographic data search engines, such as ‘Google Scholar’, ‘National Discovery for Science Leaders (NDSL)’, ‘Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL)’, ‘Archive’, ‘Jstor’, ‘Zoological Record’, ‘Kyoto Univ. Digital Library’, were queried using keywords about Korean small mammals. To identify Korean localities, we used specimen information which was preserved in the National Institute of Biological Resources (NIBR) in South Korea. In some species which have not specimen and information of locality, we cited literatures with description of those species in this study.Based on the available literature, the taxonomic account for each species is listed, made up of synonyms, common name, Korean locality, distribution, and remarks.
HISTORICAL REVIEW
The records of small mammals on the Korean Peninsula were first reported for Crocidura lasiura Dobson by Giglioli and Salvadori(1887).Thomas(1907b) reported 14 species, including two new species: Mogera wogura coreana and Mogera latouchei. At the same time, he published research papers about mammals of Japan, China, and Manchuria, including the Korean Peninsula. Japanese mammalogist Kuroda(1934) reported 24 species including several new species, such as Mus bactrianus yamashinai, Crocidura dsinezumi quelpartis, C. yamashinai, and C. neglecta. American mammalogists Johnson and Jones(1955a) published two papers about subspecies belonging to the Rodentia from Korea. Among these, three new subspecies of the genera Apodemus and Mycromys were later synonyms, but recently the subspecies name of the Siberian chipmunk has proven to be a distinct species, by Koh et al.(2009b). After that, they reported two research papers, in 1960 and 1965, entitled ‘Review of the Insectivores of Korea’, with identification key(s) and morphological characters for 15 species belonging to Insectivora, and ‘Synopsis of the Lagomorphs and Rodents of Korea’, about morphological characters of 3 hares and 26 rats.The Korean mammalogist, Woon(1967) reported 100 species, 53 genera, 22 families, and 7 orders including 13 species, 4 genera, and 3 families of Insectivora, and 16 species, 11 genera, and 2 families of Rodentia. The North Korean mammalogist, Won(1968) classified as 77 species, 46 genera, 20 families, and 6 orders about mammals of Korea including 12 species, 5 genera, and 3 families of Insectivora, and 20 species, 13 genera, and 5 families of Rodentia.Yoon and Koh (1997) listed total 104 mammal species which belong to 24 families of 8 orders, including 12 species, 3 families of Insectivora and 21 species, 3 families of Rodentia.Won and Smith (1999) briefly mentioned the history of Korean mammal studies, and the shrews and rodents were listed as 32 species in their study.Since the year 2000, Han et al.(2000) have published papers about new records of two Sorex species from South Korea, and Yoon et al.(2004) have rearranged as 122 species, 51 genera, 38 families, and 8 orders in Korea including 13 species, 5 genera, and 3 families of Insectivora, and 20 species, 17 genera, and 4 families of Rodentia. Ohdachi et al. (2005) reported a new subspecies belonging to Sorex caecutiens based on specimens collected at Mt. Halla, Jeju, in South Korea. Since then, there are no additional reports.Based on available publications, the list of small mammals on the Korean Peninsula is 33 species, 20 genera, 8 families, and 3 orders.

Common name. Siberian chipmunk.Korean locality. Entire region.Distribution. South Korea, France(Ile-de).Remarks. The subspecies name was reused by Koh et al. (2009b), based on the results of their phylogenetic works about T. s. barberi and T. s. orientalis. This species has been known as endemic in Korea, but the species was recently confirmed inhabitating France by Pisanu et al.(2013). They explained that the species settlement in France came about through trade between European countries and Korea in the 1980’s. This species has been used together with three subspecies, T. s. asiaticus, T. s. orientalis, and T. s. barberi in the past. The species inhabited in Korea was confirmed by recent study (Koh et al., 2009b, 2010; Pisanu et al., 2013). The species, T. s. asiaticus reported in the past, is not certain whether it is existed or not.

The population of R. rattus tanezumi was known inhabiting South Korea by Koh(1992). R. rattus tanezumi was raised to species grade by Carleton and Musser(2005). Two species, R. rattus and R. tanezumi, are known as inhabiting Korea, but we cannot confirm form as R. rattus among those specimens. Thus, R. rattus is excluded from the Korean checklist in this study. A new Korean name ‘Dongyangjibzui’ is proposed for the species R. tanezumi.

Many numbers escaped and are breeding in nature, and so designated as an injurious wild animal. A new Korean name ‘Keunmulzui’ is proposed for the species M. coypus.
TAXONOMIC NOTES AND REMARKS
Apodemus sylvaticus (Muridae, wood mouse) was reported indistinctly in the 1970s. Since then, the species has not been reported at all (Yoon et al., 2004). The species has been distributed from Europe to South Africa. We cannot confirm habitation information for the species in Korea and neighbors, such as China, Japan, and Russia. Therefore, we exclude the species from the checklist.Rattus rattus, also called the black rat, roof rat and ship rat, is a sibling species with R. tanezumi. The species known as R. rattus has proven to be R. rattus tanezumi by Koh (1992). Rattus rattus tanezumi was raised to the species grade by Carleton and Musser (2005). We gave the species, a Korean name R. tanezumi.The species known as Crocidura suaveolens in Korea was changed to C. shantungensis by Jiang and Hoffmann (2001). The species inhabiting Jeju Island and called C. dsinezumi was known by different characters from specimens of C. dsinezumi from Japan by Motokawa et al. (2003). The population in Jeju Island was placed as a subspecies of C. shantungensis. Therefore, C. shantungensis was divided into two subspecies: C. shantungensis shantungensis and C. shantungensis quelpartis.Myocastor coypus, called the Nutria, is the famous animal pest gnawed into the river wall and crops in Korea. Even if the species is exotic, we gave the species a new Korean name because the species is breeding in Korea.The species name of Tamias(Eutamias) sibiricus barberi, called Siberian chipmunk, inhabiting Korea, was used again by Koh et al. (2009b) based on their phylogenetic works. This species has been endemic in Korea, but the species was recently confirmed inhabiting France by Pisanu et al. (2013). They explained that the species settled in France through trade between European countries and Korea in the past. This species will likely be discovered in other European countries.Three species included in the genera Eothenomys and Clethrionomys were transferred to the genus Myodes: Myodes regulus, M. rufocanus, and M. rutilus (Carleton and Musser, 2005). The genus Sorex has been divided with two subgenera, Sorex and Ognevia, for the Korean shrew (Hutterer, 2005). Therefore, the next ten species are added to subgenus: Sorex (Sorex) caecutiens, S.(S.) daphaenodon, S.(S.) gracillimus, S. (S.) isodon, S. (S.) unguiculatus, S. (Ognevia) mirabilis, Sciurus(Sciurus) vulgaris mantchuricus, Tamias(Eutamias) sibiricus barberi, Microtus(Alexandromys) fortis, Mus(Mus) musculus.Because Sorex caecutiens hallamontanus was reported for the first time by Ohdachi et al. (2005), as a subspecies of S. caecutiens, the species name on the continent was transcribed to subspecies rank(S. caecutiens caecutiens). We changed the Korean name of the species and reorganized the taxonomic position. These species are as follows: C. shantungensis quelpartis, S.(S.) unguiculatus, and Myodes rufocanus.A large number of synonyms of each species and taxonomical researches were revaluated while performing this study. Since many papers of taxonomical result have been reported fragmentarily, researchers who use the scientific names are confused in determinations and the use of available names. We hope that this paper helps the researchers studying the Korean small mammals.
