The elegant water shrew, Nectogale elegans, is one of the small mammal species most adapted to a semi-aquatic lifestyle. taxonomy genus has received little attention due difficulties in specimen collection. In this study, we sequenced mitochondrial and eight nuclear genes infer phylogenetic relationship Nectogale. Phylogenetic analyses revealed two large clades within One clade represented N. other was regarded as sikhimensis. split between elegans sikhimensis dated back early Pleistocene...
