| Description | The order Soricomorpha, containing the moles (family Talpidae) and shrews (Soricidae), was recently placed in a new order Eulipotyphla, where these families are grouped with the hedgehogs (family Erinaceidae). See Eulipotyphla for families formerly in this order. Order Soricomorpha is still commonly used in many references. |
