The Dalat gymnure (Hylomys macarong) is a gymnure that was described formally for the first time in 2023. It is known from Dalat, Vietnam. 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.
