The paper presents novel findings of little-known species of rodents, the blind tree mice in Son La Province, Vietnam, with the first morphological and genetic characterisation and taxonomical description of the new species, . The study also summarises all the data available on this genus species distribution, museum collections and notes on its taxonomy, which are important to establish the proper conservation status of the species. An exhaustive map of the findings is provided, along with a refined taxonomic key for all six currently morphologically characterised species of the genus. It is shown that, based on the data available to date, the genus is still far from complete. Most species, apparently, do not need a special conservation measure; their status may be established as Least Concerns and Near Threatened (B1a+2a) and the current population trend is stable (IUCN).

本文介绍了越南莱州省鲜为人知的啮齿动物——盲树鼠的新发现，首次对该新物种进行了形态学和遗传学特征描述及分类学描述。该研究还总结了关于该属物种分布、博物馆收藏的所有可用数据及其分类学记录，这些对于确定该物种的适当保护状况很重要。提供了详尽的发现地图，以及该属目前已进行形态学特征描述的所有六个物种的精确分类检索表。结果表明，根据目前可得的数据，该属仍远未完整。显然，大多数物种不需要特殊的保护措施；它们的状况可确定为无危和近危（B1a+2a），且当前种群趋势稳定（国际自然保护联盟）。
