The Kolan red-backed vole, also called Inez's vole, is found only in China. It has a head and body length of about 9cm and a tail of 3.2–4.4cm. The ears are small and rounded and hardly project from the fur. The dorsal fur is a uniform dull buffish-brown and the underparts pale buff, and the tail is dark brown above and pale brown below (Wikipedia, general species account).
It lives at altitudes of 500–2,000m, typically in thick tangled undergrowth in ravines and gullies where it burrows in loose soil. Little is known of its reproduction, but it is believed to breed between March and October (Wikipedia, general species account).
