Comparatively, the snout of "S. granarius" is small and flat, the mandible possesses a diminished coronoid process and a narrow angular process, and the temporal fossa of the skull resembles a triangle. The "Sorex araneus" group of European shrews consists of "S. araneus", "S. coronatus", and "S. granarius", with
