The Dalat gymnure (Hylomys macarong) is a gymnure that was described formally for the first time in 2023.[1] It is known from Dalat, Vietnam.[1][2] The specific name 'macarong,' derived from the Vietnamese word for vampire, 'Ma cà rồng,' as a tribute to the prominent long fangs, specifically the first upper incisors, that distinguish mature males of this species.[1]
