抄録

In order to resolve taxonomic problems among the Japanese moles, Mogera spp., I compared the five main diagnostic skull characters among all the known taxa in the genus using, as a basis, the previous work by Abe (1967). A total of 612 specimens were examined, including the type specimens of M. wogura, M. w. kobeae, and M. w. kanai of Japan, those of M. w. coreana of Korea, M. hainana of Hainan and M. latouchei of south-east China, and others from the Far East maritime region of Siberia and Taiwan R.O.C. It was concluded that the mole ranging across the southern half of Japan, previously known as M. kobeae, is in fact a synonym of M. wogura and should be referred to as such. The mole previously called M. wogura with its main range to the northern half of Honshu is henceforth called M. minor. Four species of the genus Mogera: M. wogura, M. minor, M. tokudae, and M. insularis, are thus recognized as occurring in east Asia.<br>
