The Piebald Shrew (Diplomesodon pulchellum) is a shrew found in the Turan Lowland east of the Caspian Sea in Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. It grows to 2-2 3/4 inches in length, and usually hunts for insects and lizards at night. It is the only member of the genus Diplomesodon.

This latter act is significant because, as conceived by the French naturalist Pomel, this genus includes representatives of a number of modern genera, including Crocidura, Cryptotis, Diplomesodon, Myosorex, and Sorex.
Because the name Musaraneus predates Cryptotis and Diplomesodon, it could conceivably have been used to replace one of those two well established names.
By choosing Crocidura leucodon as the type species for the genus, Musaraneus becomes a junior synonym of Crocidura, thereby stabilizing the names Cryptotis and Diplomesodon in accordance with their long established usage.
