The Hainan gymnure (Neohylomys hainanensis) or Hainan moonrat is a species of
habitat loss, but in 2018 was found to also occur in, and be rather common, in Northern Vietnam.[2]
This
monotypic genus Neohylomys. Although previously considered part of the genus Hylomys, gene sequencing of a mitochondrial cytochrome b gene supports the idea that the species is sufficiently distantly related to comprise a genus of its own.[3]
