Accepterad namn, Mammal Species of the World 2005

Included in suborder Soricomorpha of the Lipotyphla by Butler (1988) and by MacPhee and Novacek (1993). McKenna and Bell (1997:293) use the name Tenrecoidea (attributing it incorrectly to Gray, 1821:301) as a superfamily with the note ‘Proposed as suborder of Lipotyphla, coordinate with Erinaceomorpha, Soricomorpha, and Chrysochlorida’; however, usage of this name is undesirable (see above).
