| Summary: | 2. Anderson’s Shrew Mole Uropsilus andersont French: Taupe dAnderson / German: Anderson-Spitzmausmaulwurf / Spanish: Topo musarana de Anderson Taxonomy. Rhynchonax andersoni Thomas, 1911, “Omisan [= Mount Emei],” Si- chuan, China. Uropsilus andersoni was sometimes classified in the genus Rhynchonax (as its type species), but it is now considered a species of Uropsilus. Molecular data suggest its closest relationships with U. aequodonenia. Monotypic. Distribution. SC China (C Sichuan), restricted to Emei Shan and adjacent area. Descriptive notes. Head—body 65-83 mm, tail 59-72 mm, hindfoot 14-17-5 mm; weight 7-4-11-2 g. Tail of Anderson’s Shrew Mole is 75-96% of head-body length. Pelage is darker than in other species of Uropsilus. Dental formulais12/2,C1/1,P 4/3, M 3/3 (x2) = 38, with occasional individual dental abnormalities. Chromosomal complement has 2n = 34 and FN = 56. Habitat. Forests at midand high elevations. Anderson’s Shrew Mole is sympatric with the Gracile Shrew Mole (U. gracilis) and the Chinese Shrew Mole (U. soricipes). Food and Feeding. No information. Breeding. No information. Activity patterns. Anderson’s Shrew Mole is terrestrial. Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information. Status and Conservation. Classified as Data Deficient on The IUCN Red List. Anderson’s Shrew Mole is known only from a few locations, and there is no information about its population status, habitat preferences, ecology, or conservation threats. Bibliography.
