Soricomorpha (from Greek "shrew-form") is a formerly used taxon within the class of mammals . In the past it formed a significant group within the former order Insectivora . However, Insectivora was shown to be polyphyletic and various new orders were split off from it, including Afrosoricida (tenrecs , golden moles , otter shrews ), Macroscelidea (elephant shrews), and Erinaceomorpha (hedgehogs and gymnures ), with the four remaining extant and recent families of Soricomorpha shown here then being treated as a separate order. Insectivora was left empty and disbanded.[1]
Subsequently, Soricomorpha itself was shown to be paraphyletic , because Soricidae shared a more recent common ancestor with Erinaceidae than with other soricomorphs.[3] The combination of Soricomorpha and Erinaceidae, referred to as order Eulipotyphla , has been shown to be monophyletic.[4]
Living members of the group range in size from the Etruscan shrew , at about 3.5 cm and 2 grams, to the Cuban solenodon , at about 32 cm and 1 kg.
