ORDER SORICOMORPHA Gregory, 1910 View in CoL

Soricomorpha , Erinaceomorpha , and Afrosoricida previously composed the single Order Insectivora or Lipotyphla ( Hutterer 2005b). 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).
