  Subfamily Erinaceinae or hedgehogs
Animals / Mammals / Insectivora (427) / Erinaceidae (21) / Erinaceinae (15)
The typical group, or Erinaceinae, is represented only by the hedgehogs, with the one genus Erinaceus, easily recognized by their spiny coats, and further characterized by the rudimentary fl~SJ~5 tail, the presence of vacuities in the palate, and the broad hogs.
The literary history of Erinaceinae is rich: In Shakespeare's _The Tempest_, Caliban complains of them "tumbling in my barefoot way, mounting their pricks at my footfall.

 AMNH Scientific Publications: Item 2246/1055
Origin and history of the Erinaceinae and Brachyericinae (Mammalia, Insectivora) in North America.
Both North American genera of Amphechinini (new tribe of the Erinaceinae) are well known in the Old World in earlier Oligocene deposits and hence appear to have immigrated into North America just before their first appearance there in the early Miocene.
Area of origin of the Erinaceini may be interpreted as (1) unspecified within Holarctica plus the Ethiopian Region or (2) as external to Holarctica, depending on how the evidence is weighed.

 Eurasian Insectivores and Tree Shrews - Status Survey and Conservation Action Plan, 1995: Erinaceidae
The family Erinaceidae consists of two sub-families: the Erinaceinae - four genera of hedgehogs - and the Hylomyinae (formerly Echinosoricinae) - three genera of gymnures.
The Erinaceinae are a widely distributed group throughout Eurasia and are readily distinguished by the barbless spines (adults have an average of 5000) on their back and sides.
The remainder of the body - face, limbs and underparts-is covered in coarse hair.
