The long-tailed mole (Scaptonyx fusicauda) is a species of mole in the family Talpidae. It is found in China, Vietnam and Myanmar.

Taxonomy

The species is the only species in the genus Scaptonyx and the tribe Scaptonychini. At least two subspecies are recognized in China: S. f. affinis occurs in Yunnan and Guizhou, S. f. fusicauda in Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Guizhou.

Ecology

This mole 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.
