Preliminary note : Talpa Aquitania nov. sp. (Talpidae, Soricomorpha) a new mole species from Southwest France and North Spain

A mtDNA based study of the population genetics of moles recently captured in France allowed us to discover a new species, Talpa aquitania nov. sp. We are giving here a preliminary description of the new species. Its distribution covers an area lying south and west of the course of the Loire river in...

Description
Summary:A mtDNA based study of the population genetics of moles recently captured in France allowed us to discover a new species, Talpa aquitania nov. sp. We are giving here a preliminary description of the new species. Its distribution covers an area lying south and west of the course of the Loire river in France and beyond the Pyrenees, a part of Northern Spain.

(Talpidae, Soricomorpha) une nouvelle espèce de taupe du sud-ouest de la France et du nord de l’Espagne. Une étude, basée sur le mtDNA, de la génétique des populations de taupes récemment capturées en France nous a permis de découvrir une espèce nouvelle, Talpa aquitania nov. sp. Nous donnons ici une description préliminaire de la nouvelle espèce et de sa distribution. Cette dernière couvre une région se situant au sud et à l’ouest du cours de la Loire et, au-delà des Pyrénées, dans le nord de la péninsule ibérique. preliminary note: Talpa Aquitania nov. sp. (Talpidae, Soricomorpha) a new species of porbeagle from south-west France and northern Spain. A study, based on mtDNA, of the genetics of porbeagle populations recently captured in France revealed a new species, Talpa Aquitania nov. sp. Here we give a preliminary description of the new species and its distribution. The latter covers a region to the south and west of the River Loire and, beyond the Pyrenees, to the north of the Iberian Peninsula.
