Abstract
Volemys millicens belonged to family Cricetidae and subfamily Arvicolinae. Volemys millicens was a very rare species, which was nominated in 1911 by Thomas. But from then on, there had no any records of this species. Until 2013, the specimen was collected in Maoxian county, which was the only record of Volemys millicens in the world. In 2018, 2 specimens of voles were collected in Wanglang National Natural Reserve, which were similar to Volemys millicens. Through morphology and molecular study, they were confirmed as Volemys millicens. This was the second record of Volemys milllicens in the world.
