Mogera imaizumii Kuroda 1957 View in CoL

Mogera imaizumii Kuroda 1957 View in CoL , J. Mammal. Soc. Japan, 1: 74.

Type Locality: Japan, Honshu, Tochigi Pref., Shiobara.

Vernacular Names: Small Japanese Mole.

Synonyms: Mogera minor (Kuroda 1936) .

Distribution: Shikoku and N and SC Honshu, Japan.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc) as M. minor .

Discussion: Included in Talpa [ Euroscaptor ] micrura by Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1966); but retained as a separate species by Yoshiyuki (1986). Renamed Talpa wogura imaizumii by Kuroda (1957) for homonymy with Talpa europaea var. minor . In a revision of Japanese moles Abe (1995) reintroduced the name M. minor , but Motokawa and Abe (1996) subsequently corrected this view. Karyotype from Honshu has 2n = 36, FN = 54 ( Kawada et al., 2001). Populations from E Honshu and W Honshu plus Shikoku exhibit considerable genetic differences ( Tsuchiya et al., 2000).
