Nannospalax is a genus of rodent in the family Spalacidae, found in eastern Europe and western Asia. It is one of two genera in the blind mole-rats (subfamily Spalacinae), alongside Spalax.[1][2] Members of this genus are also known as small-bodied mole-rats.[3] As with members of the genus Spalax, they are completely blind, with their eyes being entirely covered by skin.
