Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: This species occurs in south-central China, northern Myanmar and northern Viet Nam (Hutterer 2005; Smith and Xie 2008). In China it is known from the provinces of Guizhou, Sichuan, and Yunnan (Smith and Xie 2008). It occurs at elevations ranging from 300-2,700 m asl (Corbet and Hill 1992). Its distribution in Myanmar and Viet Nam is marginal. In China, its distribution appears to be allo- to parapatric with Neotetracus suillus (Smith and Xie 2008). It could also occur in northern Lao PDR and extreme northeastern India, but so far there are no records.

It is not known to what extent it might also be able to live in degraded habitats. It is strictly nocturnal and is associated with burrows.
Systems: Terrestrial
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): It might be affected by habitat loss, but this depends on whether or not it can adapt to anthropogenic habitats. However, given its wide range, there are unlikely to be any major threats to this species.
