Major's long-tailed tenrec (Microgale majori) is a species of mammal in the family Tenrecidae. It is endemic to Madagascar . Its natural habitat is the eastern humid forest of the island, as well as some western forests, where it has been seen at elevations from 785 to 2000 m.[1] Its habits are not well known, but it is thought to be semiarboreal.[1] The species was formerly viewed as synonymous with M. longicaudata.[1] It was named in honor of zoologist C. I. Forsyth Major.
