It is classified, together with the fossil genus ''[[Quyania]]'', in the tribe [[Neurotrichini]] of the subfamily [[Talpinae]]. The only living species is the [[Neurotrichus gibbsii|American shrew-mole]] (''N. gibbsii'') of the northwestern United States and [[British Columbia]].<ref>Hutterer, 2005</ref> A fossil species, ''[[Neurotrichus columbianus]]'' from the [[Hemphillian]] of [[Oregon]], was placed in the genus in 1968, but this animal is now thought to be more closely related to the Chinese fossil genus ''[[Yanshuella]]''. Two fossil species from the [[Plio-Pleistocene]] of [[Poland]] known as ''Neurotrichus polonicus''<ref>Carraway and Verts, 1991, p. 2</ref> and ''Neurotrichus skoczeni''<ref>Zijlstra, 2010</ref> were placed in a new genus, ''[[Rzebikia]]''.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Sansalone |first1=G. |title=New Systematic Insights about Plio-Pleistocene Moles from Poland |journal=Acta Palaeontologica Polonica |date=2014 |volume=61 |issue=1 |pages=221–229 |doi=10.4202/app.00116.2014 |doi-access=free |hdl=11380/1318370 |hdl-access=free }}</ref> ==References== {{Reflist}} ==Literature cited== *Carraway, L.N. and Verts, B.J. 1991.
