| Author: | Linnaeus, 1758. | | Citation: | Syst. Nat., 10th ed., 1: 52. | | Type Species: | Talpa europaea Linnaeus, 1758. | | Comments: | Includes Asioscalops which was retained as a full genus by Yudin (1989:60). Schwarz (1948), Corbet (1978c:36), and Corbet and Hill (1991:38) included Euroscaptor, Parascaptor, Mogera, and Scaptochirus; but these are retained here as full genera, see Abe et al. (1991) and Gureev (1979:256-285). For phylogenetic considerations based on morphology, see Stein (1960) and Grulich (1971); based on allozyme variation, see Filippucci et al. (1987). For a review of European species, see Niethammer and Krapp (1990). |
