What is another word for Suborder Lipotyphla?
Pronunciation: [sˈʌbɔːdə lˈɪpətˌɪflə] (IPA) 
The suborder Lipotyphla is a group of small, insectivorous mammals that include shrews, moles, hedgehogs, and solenodons. This taxonomic suborder is also known by other names such as Eulipotyphla, Insectivora, and Soricomorpha. Eulipotyphla is often used because it is thought to be a more accurate grouping based on genetics. Insectivora, as the name suggests, is used due to the shared characteristic of these animals being insectivorous. Soricomorpha is used because shrews (Soricidae) make up a large portion of this suborder, and it directly translates to "shrew-like." Despite the varied names, the animals within this suborder share many physical and behavioral traits that make them distinct from other mammals.
