Treatment

Mogera insularis Swinhoe 1862 , Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1862: 356.

Type Locality: "Formosa ( China)" = Taiwan.

Vernacular Names: Insular Mole.

Subspecies: :

Subspecies Mogera insularis subsp. insularis Swinhoe 1862

Subspecies Mogera insularis subsp. hainana Thomas 1910

Subspecies Mogera insularis subsp. latouchei Thomas 1907

Distribution: Taiwan, Hainan, SE China.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Includes latouchei; see Corbet and Hill (1991 c:38). Included in Talpa [ Euroscaptor ] micrura by Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951:40); but see Corbet (1978 c:33), Abe (1995) and Motokawa and Abe (1996). Karyotype of a specimen from Taiwan determined as 2n = 32, FN = 58 ( Lin et al., 2002 a). The status of the mainland (latouchei) and Hainan (hainana) populations still has to be determined ( Abe, 1995). Skulls of latouchei are smaller than in insularis .
