Euroscaptor parvidens Miller 1940

Description

Euroscaptor parvidens Miller 1940

Euroscaptor parvidens Miller 1940, J. Mammal., 21: 203.

Type Locality: Vietnam, Di Linh, Blao Forest Station.

Vernacular Names: Small-toothed Mole.

Distribution: Known from type locality and Rakho on the Chinese border.

Conservation: IUCN – Critically Endangered.

Discussion: Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1966:40) included this species in [E]. micrura leucura. Corbet (1978 c:33) mentioned leucura as a species, but Gureev (1979:274) also listed parvidens in the Euroscaptor group of Talpa, where Miller (1940 b:444) put his species soon after description. Corbet and Hill (1991:38) did not list parvidens and one may assume that they included it in micrura.
