Habitat:
C. phaeura is found in montane and riverine forest along the Ethiopian Rift Valley.
Range:
Crocidura phaeura is endemic to Ethiopia. It is only known from the areas of Nachisar National Park where 13 specimens were collected in the riverine forest bordering the Collufu and Sermale Rivers (Duckworth et al. 1993) and from the type locality, Sidamo, which is located at the base of Mount Guramba. Its elevational range is 1,100-2,400 m asl.
Conservation:
Crocidura phaeura is present in Nachisar National Park which is relatively well-protected. Additional studies are needed into the distribution, abundance, general ecology and threats to this little-known species.
