It was described as being larger than the commoner Suncus murinus and without a musky smell. Males were shiny black with a white band or patch on the middle of the back. Females also had the white patch but were grey. Sonnerat described the shrew as being five and a half inches [149 mm] from the head to the base of the tail and the tail being one inch and one line or 29 mm. It was given a scientific name by Anthony Cheke which was first published in 2012[1] but the description was not considered valid by some as the holotype was not explicitly designated (in this case the illustration, as there was no specimen) and it was therefore redescribed in 2018. The species was placed tentatively in the genus Diplomesodon which is nested within Crocidura according to a molecular phylogenetic study.[2] Cheke placed the species tentatively in the genus based on the observation that the only other shew species with a piebald pattern was in the central Asian species Diplomesodon pulchellum. Considering that no specimen matching the species has ever been found ever since, it is thought that the rodent has since gone extinct.[3] References1. ^{{cite journal|author=Cheke, A.[S.] |year=2011|publication-date=2012 |title= Sonnerat's Shrew - evidence for a new and possibly extinct species in an early 19th century manuscript (Mammalia: Soricidae)| journal=Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society|volume= 108|pages=95–97}} 2. ^{{Cite journal|doi=10.1016/j.ympev.2008.07.002|pmid=18657625|title=Biogeographic origin and radiation of the Old World crocidurine shrews (Mammalia: Soricidae) inferred from mitochondrial and nuclear genes|journal=Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution| volume=48|issue=3|pages=953–963|year=2008|last1=Dubey|first1=Sylvain|last2=Salamin|first2=Nicolas|last3=Ruedi|first3=Manuel|last4=Barrière|first4=Patrick|last5=Colyn|first5=Marc|last6=Vogel|first6=Peter}} 3. ^{{cite journal|author1=Cheke, A.
