Range
China, Vietnam and Myanmar
The long-tailed mole is a species of mole in the family Talpidae found in China, Vietnam and Myanmar. The cached account treats the species under the name Scaptonyx fusicauda; this entry follows the site's list, which gives the southern long-tailed mole as Scaptonyx affinis (Wikipedia, general species account).
It is fully fossorial and spends its life underground. It has been found at relatively high elevations of 2,000–4,100 m and appears to prefer damp, coniferous montane forests.
