  EDGE :: Top 100 EDGE Species
The mole family Talpidae comprises three subfamilies: the moles (Talpinae) and shrew moles (Uropsilinae), which are mostly fossorial (diggers), and the semi-aquatic desmans (Desmaninae).
Fossil members of the Talpidae are known from the early Eocene in Europe (over 50 million years ago), the early Oligocene of North America (35 million years ago), and the late Miocene in Asia (10 million years ago).
The Asiatic shrew-moles (Uropsilinae) are believed to be the most primitive members of the Talpidae.

Anatolia Talpidae, Uropsilinae, classification, new taxa, Early Miocene, 42.84, 38.22,
The taxonomy and classification of the Uropsilinae is discussed.
On the basis of the morphology of the humerus the genera Asthenoscaptor and Mygatalpa are included in the Uropsilinae, showing that the diversity of this subfamily during the Early Miocene was much larger than previously assumed.

The genus Uropsilus was first described by Milne Edwards (1871) from material sent back from Muping (now Baoxing), Sichuan, by the renowned French missionary, Père Armand David.
These small insectivores are shrew-like in appearance, but exhibit a mole-like skull and dentition.
Four species are now recognised in this genus (sub-family Uropsilinae) (Hutterer, 1993).
