ABSTRACT. The northeastern limits of the Kamchatka shrew distribution were found to extend much further and include the northeastern territories of the Koryak upland. The new capture points indicate a shift in the range of the species to the east by 500 km from the previously known ones. A distance of only 130 km separates the nearest catching sites of the Kamchatka and Portenko’s shrews.
KEY WORDS: Kamchatka shrew, Sorex camtschaticus, distribution, North-East Asia.
