Literature data on the chromosomal characteristics of Soricidae, genera Crocidura and Sorex are analyzed. The importance of karyological studies for shrew taxonomy at the species level in the Russian Far East is shown. For each species, information on taxonomy, distribution, collection site of studied samples and the structure of karyotypes is provided. The intraspecifi c variability of shrew karyotypes in the Russian Far East is discussed based on a comparison of chromosomal characteristics from diff erent populations located in Russia and other geographical regions.
