The Guatemalan broad-clawed shrew (Cryptotis griseoventris) is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is known from Guatemala and the Mexican state of Chiapas, where it has been found in montane forests of oak, pine and fir, as well as secondary forest, mostly at elevations above 2000 m.[1][2] It feeds on insects.[1] Deforestation and habitat fragmentation are major threats.[1] It was formerly considered conspecific with C. goldmani.[2]
