Description

The Chinese white-toothed shrew is described as medium-sized with light brown dorsal fur and a faintly-colored dichromatic tail. Compared to ''Crocidura attenuata'', its posterior upper premolars are not severely concave, exposing less bone material. The skull of ''Crocidura rapax'' is also longer than that of ''Crocidura indochinensis'' with a "proportionately broader maxillary to interorbital region but with a comparatively narrow braincase relative to skull length and maxillary breadth".Jenkins, P.
