	Chrysochloridae or golden moles - TheWebsiteOfEverything.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		CHRYSOCHLORIDAE Chrysochloridae is the golden moles family of mammals belonging to the order Insectivora.
		The Chrysochloridae is thus a truly southern African flagship biodiversity, and one that is in urgent need of further taxonomic study to facilitate effective conservation strategies.
		Chrysochloridae Family Golden moles are fairly common throughout southern Africa, where 7 genera and around 18 species are known.

	Digimorph - Chrysochloris sp. (golden mole)
		(Mammalia: Chrysochloridae), or the Cape golden mole, is an enigmatic insectivorous mammal from sub-Saharan Africa.
		Chrysochloridae is comprised of at least 18 species spanning 7 genera (Nowak, 1991), but may include as many as 21 species (Bronner and Perrin, 2001).
		Although golden moles classically are considered insectivorans, their peculiarities have been known for a long time and Chrysochloridae may not belong within Insectivora (see Broom, 1916).

	Small Mammals
		Research in the department also focuses on the systematic status and phylogenetic relationships of golden moles (Chrysochloridae), the only mammal family with a southern African center of diversity.
		Eleven species are included in IUCN/SSC threatened categories, and little information exists on the ecology, habitat requirements and reproduction of most taxa owing to their rarity, trap-shyness and cryptic habits.
		A variety of techniques, ranging from traditional and geometric morphometrics, molecular studies and karyology are used to study both infraspecific variation and supraspecific relationships.

	Eurasian Insectivores and Tree Shrews - Status Survey and Conservation Action Plan, 1995: Chapter2/1
		A common arrangement at one time was to divide the Insectivora into two suborders: the Lipotyphla (with the living families Erinaceidae, Solenodontidae, Nesophontidae, Tenrecidae, Chrysochloridae, Soricidae, and Taipidae), and the Menotyphla, with the families Macroscelididae and Tupaiidae.
		The families Tenrecidae, Solenodontidae, and Chrysochloridae, were placed in a separate order Deltatheridia.
		Eisenberg (1981) also united the Tenrecidae and Chrysochloridae in a separate order, the Tenrecomorpha.

	Insectivora - Unipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The taxonomy has been refined in recent years, and tree shrews, elephant shrews, and colugos have now been placed in separate orders.
		Molecular evidence also indicates that golden moles and tenrecs should be separated as a new order Afrosoricida comprising Chrysochloridae (golden moles) and Tenrecidae (tenrecs).
		Other evidence now indicates that even Erinaceidae (hedgehogs) and Solenodontidae+Nesophontidae should also be placed in separate orders.

		Suborders Mysticeti Odontoceti (see text for families) The order Cetacea includes whales, dolphins and porpoises.
		Families Chrysochloridae Tenrecidae The order Afrosoricida (also known as Tenrecomorpha) contains two families of small mammals that are possibly a part of the traditional order Insectivora.
		Genera Rhynchocyon Petrodromus Macroscelides Elephantulus The small insectivorous mammals endemic to Africa known as elephant shrews are neither elephants nor shrews and, more formally, are the members of the biological order Macroscelidea.
