The [[Order (biology)|order]] '''Soricomorpha''' ("shrew-form") is a biological [[clade]] within the [[Class (biology)|class]] of [[mammal]]s. In previous years it formed a significant group within the former [[Insectivora]] order. However, that order was shown to be [[Paraphyly|paraphyletic]] and various new orders were split off from it, including [[Afrosoricida]] ([[Tenrecidae|tenrecs]] and [[golden mole]]s), [[Elephant shrew|Macroscelidea]] (elephant shrews), and [[Erinaceidae|Erinaceomorpha]] ([[hedgehog]]s and [[gymnure]]s), leaving just four [[family (biology)|families]] as shown here, leaving Insectivora empty and disbanded.<ref name=msw3/>
