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.
The Macroscelididae were placed in a separate order - the Macroscelidea which, together with the order Lagomorpha, was put in the grandorder Anagalidia.
