Yunnan Red-backed Vole

Eothenomys eleusis is a red-backed vole whose status depends on the authority. Some authors recognise it as a species of southern China and the bordering regions of Myanmar, Vietnam, Thailand and India, while the American Society of Mammalogists treats it as including the Kachin red-backed vole and the Yunnan red-backed vole (E. miletus) as subspecies. The taxonomy of the genus Eothenomys is unresolved (Wikipedia, genus account).

The Yunnan red-backed vole, as described on its own page, is the largest member of its genus, with a higher cranium and a soft, thick, long coat of tawny to reddish brown with grey underparts, and lives in montane forest in Yunnan. This entry is general and records the possible range rather than local habits.
