Abstract

We compared recent taxonomic arrangements of the Japanese mammals between "A Guide to the Mammals of Japan" by Abe in 2005 (GMJ2) and "Mammal Species of the World, Third Edition" by Wilson and Reeder in 2005 (MSW3). GMJ2 and MSW3 recognized 116 and 120 species, respectively, from Japan except for apparent introduced species and marine mammals of Order Cetacea and Order Sirenia. For higher rank, Order Insectivora used in many publications, including GMJ2, is divided into three Orders by MSW3: Order Afrosoricida, Order Erinaceomorpha, and Order Soricomorpha. The Japanese "Insectivora" species (Family Soricidae and Family Talpidae) are included within Order Soricomorpha. We made a comparative list of species between GMJ2 and MSW3 and found considerable differences in taxonomy at the species level. Furthermore, there are several additional important reports for the species taxonomy of some Japanese mammals after the preparation and publication of GMJ2 and MSW3. We provide 37 comments summarizing the differences between GMJ2 and MSW3 and for additional information.
