COMPARISONS: For comparisons to most species, see the Crocidura ordinaria comparisons section above. Compared to C. ordinaria, the pelage is less dense (i. e., shorter hairs on the dorsum) and both the pelage and feet are paler on average and the body is less stocky (fig. 17). The skull of C. solita is slightly smaller, and it is also narrower both absolutely and relative to skull length (figs. 10, 42), with a narrower palate and less robust dentition (table 14). The suture between the squamosal and parietal bones is often open, leaving a long slit in C. solita, but this suture is usually closed in C. ordinaria.
