TheDabie Mountains shrew mole (Uropsilus dabieshanensis) is a species ofmammal in the familyTalpidae and genusUropsilus. It isendemic toAnhui Province in China, where, as its name suggests, it is only known from theDabie Mountains.[1]
Phylogenetic evidence supports it being a sister species to a clade containing thegracile shrew mole (U. gracilis),black-backed shrew mole (U. atronates), and several undescribed species, withU. dabieshanensis diverging from the rest of the genus in the earlyPleistocene.[1][2]
