The Dwarf gymnure (Hylomys parvus), is a species of gymnure found only at Mount Kerinci, Sumatra, Indonesia. It is listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as a vulnerable due to a restricted range. The dwarf gymnure was first described as a separate taxon in 1916, but it was not considered a valid species until it was more closely examined in 1994. RUEDI, M., CHAPUISAT, M. & ISKANDAR, D. 1994.
