The gracile shrew mole is a slender, long-snouted member of Uropsilus with visible ears, a long tail and narrow forefeet rather than the broad digging paws of typical moles. It occurs in southwestern China and northern Myanmar. It lives in moist montane forest, where it searches through leaf litter and loose surface soil for insects, earthworms and other invertebrates.
