Sorex Glis is written as two words without a hyphen and seems to be the name 
of a genus and species rather than a single name. *'On aura certainement 
tout le droit possible de le prendre pour un type d'une nouvelle sous-division: 
nous lui assignerons le nom de (Sorex Glis) qui donne à la fois, l'idée de sa forme 
extérieure et de sa véritable nature." It was regarded as a generic name 
(Sorexglis) by Desmarest, who emended it to Glisorex.
