ORDER ERINACEOMORPHA Gregory, 1910

Erinaceomorpha used to be included in the Order Insectivora or Lipotyphla ( Hutterer 2005a). Murphy et al. (2001) found that the Erinaceidae strongly clustered with the Soricidae and Talpidae , and therefore, placed the three families Erinaceidae , Soricidae , and Talpidae in the Order Eulipotyphla . Roca et al. (2004) confirmed this classification and included the Solenodontidae in the order. However, there remains disagreement over the Order Eulipotyphla ( Vaughan et al. 2013) . Here, we followed the classification proposed by Hutterer (2005a).

In Korea, the order is represented by one species, Erinaceus amurensis , which ranges throughout the Korean Peninsula.
