The Sicilian shrew is recorded from Italy and Malta. Its gray back contrasts with a pale underside, and it searches for insects and other small invertebrates at night.
The back is light gray with brownish tones, while the underside is off-white. A sharp boundary separates the colors on the flanks; the gray tail has a white tip.
It is nocturnal and uses burrows made by other mammals, rock crevices, or the bases of shrubs as refuges. Its reported foods include beetles, moths, and earthworms.
