This subfamily consists of four species in genus Uropsilus which are found in forested or alpine regions in China. They are similar to shrews in appearance. These animals tunnel but also forage on the surface in leaf litter. This article is about the animal; see also The Taming of the Shrew for the use of this term to describe a person. ...
The two species in genus Urotrichus, found in Japan, and the American Shrew Mole, Neurotrichus gibbsii, are also known as shrew moles because of their shrew-like appearance, but are grouped in subfamily Talpinae.
The mole family Talpidae comprises three subfamilies: the moles (Talpinae) and shrewmoles (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.
