In the past, various authors proposed to place treeshrews in the ordinal rank Insectivora, or considered them close relatives of primates.

Many of the taxa within it were once regarded as part of the order Insectivora, but Insectivora is now considered to be polyphyletic and obsolete.

Findings from molecular genetics, for example, have prompted adopting new groups, such as the Afrotheria, and abandoning traditional groups, such as the Insectivora.

Though called'treeshrews', and despite having previously been classified in Insectivora, they are not true shrews, and not all species live in trees.

"' Lipotyphla "'is a formerly used invalid families of the former order Insectivora, Chrysochloridae ( golden moles ) and Tenrecidae ( tenrecs ).

The order Afrosoricida contains the golden moles of southern Africa and the tenrecs of Madagascar and Africa, two families of small mammals that were traditionally part of the order Insectivora.

Not to be confused with insectivores ( the eaters of insects considered as a feeding behavior ), many of which do not belong to Eulipotyphla or the other taxa formerly included within Insectivora.

This implication was borne out of the fact that microbats do not resemble primates in any of the neural characteristics studied by Pettigrew, instead resembling primitive mammals such as Insectivora in these respects.
