talpidae

I had been invaded by a member of the family Talpidae - a mole.

The family Talpidae contains all the true moles and some of their close relatives.

Mogera is a genus of mammal in the Talpidae family.

The Scalopini are a tribe of moles belonging to the Talpidae family.

The family Talpidae includes the moles, shrew moles, and desmans.

Soricidae, a sister family of Talpidae, contains the American Water Shrew.

The greater Chinese mole (Euroscaptor grandis) is a species of mammal in the Talpidae family.

Family Talpidae: (moles and close relatives)

Despite its outward similarity to muskrats (a rodent), the Russian desman is actually part of the mole family Talpidae in the order Soricomorpha.

A new Talpidae based meccha called Yatter-Mogura (Yatter-Mole) in the 2008 version that first appeared in episode 39.

Revision of the mole genus Mogera (Mammalia: Lipotyphla: Talpidae) from Taiwan.

The Scalpidae are the only Talpidae subfamily to consist entirely of undisputed moles and no mole-like close relatives such as shrew-moles or desmans.

The astragalus of Veratalpa is the largest among those from Vieux Collonges that Ameghino assigned to Talpidae.

Desmans, which are Talpidae but are not normally called "moles", are not shown below, but belong to the subfamily Talpinae (note the slightly different name).

As marsupials, these moles are even more distantly related to true Talpidae moles than golden moles, both of which belong to the eutheria, or placental mammals.

The desman, a snouted and naked-tailed diving insectivore of the tribe Desmanini, belongs to one of two Eurasian species of the mole family, Talpidae.

This means they share a closer common ancestor with such existing afrosoricids as elephants, manatees, and aardvarks than they do with other placental mammals such as true Talpidae moles.

He placed it in Talpidae, the family of the moles, but in 1974, John Howard Hutchison argued that the astragalus was not talpid and more likely came from a rodent.

He distinguished six talpid species among the astragali, but according to Hutchison only Ameghino's species F (which was assigned to Talpidae with a query) is really a talpid.

All species in the Talpidae family are classed as "prohibited new organisms" under New Zealand's Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996, preventing them from being imported into the country.

Notes on type specimens of European Miocene Talpidae and a tentative classification of old world Tertiary Talpidae (Insectivora: Mammalia) (subscription required).

Although little is currently known regarding any aspect of their natural history, Uropsilinae are thought to be the most ancestral group of moles, and as such, very similar to the primitive talpid from which all Talpidae have evolved.

Although at 4.5 mm it is about as long as his "species A", it is broader, and Hutchison noted the broadness as one of the characters that argue against classification of Veratalpa in Talpidae.

He listed several species of the family Talpidae (moles and related species) from Vieux Collonges, including "espèce C" ("species C"), which he named as a new genus and species, Veratalpa lugdunensiana, in a footnote.
