We establish a neotype in the collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest (Hungary) for Crocidura obtusa (Mammalia, Soricidae). The species was originally described by M. Kretzoi as a new species from the Early Pleistocene locality of Gombaszög (now Gombasek, Slovakia) in 1938, but the holotype was lost in 1956. The neotype is a complete left mandible from the Osztramos 8 site (Hungary, Early Pleistocene). Due to the incomplete original description given by Kretzoi, a new definition of this species also had to be composed. Kretzoi’s distinctive characteristics between C. obtusa and the recent Crocidura species are accepted here, but further differences were discovered in comparison with the contemporary C. kornfeldi. According to our taxonomic results, C. obtusa was present in Central Europe, mainly in the Carpathian Basin, from the Early Pleistocene (ca. 1.2 Ma) to the earliest Late Pleistocene (ca. 130–115 ka).

1938年为钝角鳄（Crocidura obtusa Kretzoi）建立新类型（哺乳动物，Soricidae）：对该更新世白齿sh物种的改良描述

我们在匈牙利布达佩斯的匈牙利自然历史博物馆的藏书中建立了一种新的模式，称为钝尾鳄（哺乳动物，Soricidae）。该物种最初由M. Kretzoi于1938年描述为来自Gombaszög（现在的Gombasek，斯洛伐克）的早更新世地方的新物种，但完整型于1956年消失。该新型是Osztramos 8站点上的完整左下颚（匈牙利，早更新世）。由于克雷佐伊（Kretzoi）给出的原始描述不完整，因此还必须对该物种进行新定义。克雷佐伊（Kretzoi）的隐孢子虫（C. obtusa）和最近的克罗西杜拉（Crocidura）物种之间的鲜明特征在这里被接受，但是与现代克恩菲氏菌（C. kornfeldi）相比，发现了更多差异。根据我们的分类结果，C.扁柏存在于中欧，主要是在喀尔巴阡盆地，从早更新世（约1.2 Ma）的最早期的晚更新世（约130-115万年）。
