Authors/Creators

Description

Euroscaptor mizura (Gunther, 1880). Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1880:441.

TYPE LOCALITY: Japan, Honshu, "In the neighbourhood of Yokohama".

DISTRIBUTION: Mountains of Honshu (Japan).

SYNONYMS: hiwaensis, othai.

COMMENTS: Imaizumi (1970b) and Abe et al. (1991) included this species in the genus Euroscaptor, while Corbet (1978c) placed it in Talpa. Three populations have been named, of which othai represents "probably a distinct species", according to Imaizumi (1970b); a view supported by Yoshiyuki (1988b).
