Currently, the Order Insectivora has a paraphyletic designation. Since Soricidae has a closer relationship to Erinaceidae than Talpidae , Soricomorpha also seems polyphyletic. Several mammalogists advocated combining Eulipotyphla with Erinaceomorpha and Soricomorpha ( Waddell et al. 1999 ; Murphy et al. 2001 ; Roca et al. 2004 ). Since greater consensus does not exist for these orders ( Vaughan et al. 2013 ), we followed Wilson and Reeder (2005) . In Korean, 13 species representing four genera and two families compose the Order Soricomorpha . In this review, we removed three species from Soricidae and confirmed 10 species (see below).
