    Abstract:

    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.
