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.
