SC China (SW Sichuan), restricted to a small area surrounded by Dadu,Jinsha, and Yalu rivers. Descriptive notes. Head-body 72-82 mm, tail 67-73 mm, hindfoot 14-16 mm; weight 11 g.

Tail is bicolored; upper part is deep brown; and underside is paler. Rostrum is tapered; braincase is rounded. Dental formulais12/2,C1/1,P 3/3, M 3/3 (x2) = 36, which differentiates the Equivalent Teeth Shrew Mole from other species of Uropsilus . Habitat.
