英文摘要	The classification and phylogenetic relationships of the genus Blarinella have been traditionally based on morphological characteristics, and there have been no studies published about the molecular phylogenetic relationships and biogeography for this genus. Here, we reconstructed the phylogenetic relationships of the genus Blarinella based on one nuclear (ApoB) and two mitochondrial (cyt-b, 16S rRNA) genes. Our results supported the monophyly of the genus Blarinella and the valid species status of Blarinella wardi. Nevertheless, two morphologically defined Blarinella species, B. quadraticauda and B. griselda, were poorly differentiated by molecular data; B. quadraticauda was found embedded within B. griselda making the latter a paraphyletic group. These results indicate that B. quadraticauda might be under a budding speciation scenario or is a restricted geographical subspecies of B. griselda. Phylogeographic analyses suggest that diversification and speciation of Blarinella might have been promoted by vicariance events associated to the complex topography of Southwest China. Further morphological, genetic and ecological studies are necessary to examine these hypotheses.
