Euroscaptor kuznetsovi Found in Wuyanling,Zhejiang,China
In June of 2023,a mole specimen was collected in the Wuyanling National Nature Reserve in Zhejiang,China(Fig.1).Examinations of external and skull morphology and measurements(Fig.2),along with a phylogenetic tree based on the Cyt b gene(Fig.3)supported that it should be assigned to the species Euroscaptor kuznetsovi.We also found a certain degree of geographical differentiation from the geographical population reported in Vietnam,the type locality.This may imply the existence of subspecies or cryptic species.The discovery of E.kuznetsovi is a new record of mammals in Zhejiang Province,China,which supplements the biological data on the geographical distribution of the species and provides new evidence for subsequent related research.
