  Subfamily Soricinae or red-toothed shrews
Sub-family Soricinae The sub-family Soricinae is represented by seven genera (57 species) (Full text)
Red-toothed shrews are so called because their teeth have a reddish appearance on account of a deposition of iron in the outer layer of enamel (Dötsch and Koenigswald, 1978), which may increase resistance to wear.
Soricinae, red-toothed shrews, are more temperate and arctic in distribution - they are found in Eurasia and N. (Full text)

Allosoricinae, Limnoecinae, Crocidurinae and Soricinae are not known before the Miocene.
More or less from the same time Soricinae are known from North America.
The first occurrences of the remaining species of the Soricinae are from the European Late Miocene, the end of the Middle Miocene of North America and the Late Miocene of Asia.

 DEE UNIL - Groupe Vogel
The red-toothed shrews (subfamily Soricinae) are characterised by a very high metabolic rate and a holarctic distribution, whereas the white-toothed shrews (subfamily Crocidurinae), originating from the palaeotropical region, have a moderate metabolic rate.
Their respective life histories are investigated in the laboratory and in nature, particularly energetic budgets, mating systems and reproduction.
The cost of locomotion (J. Aeschimann, in prep.) and temperature control (with implanted transmitters) in laboratory and free ranging animals are currently being investigated (Vogel 1990).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The Buena Vista Lake shrew, Sorex ornatus relictus, is one of nine subspecies within the ornate shrew Sorex ornatus species complex known to occur in California (Hall 1981; Owen and Hoffmann 1983; Maldonado 1992).
Sorex ornatus belongs to the order Insectivora and family Soricidae, subfamily Soricinae, and the tribe Soricini, with three subgenera (Owen and Hoffmann 1983; Junge and Hoffmann 1981).
Sorex ornatus relictus are primarily insectivorous mammals that are the approximate size of a mouse.

Even if host range test with this weevil were satisfactory we decided to temporarily suspend host range testing and try to solve the genetic problem.
During summer 2003, EBCL Rome, Substation will provide to EBCL Montpellier, France with living insect material of Baris soricinae collected on Salsola australis (Russian thistle) and Chenopodium album (common lambsquarters) to proceed with genetic analysis of the two group of insects.
It is native to the Mediterranean region of Europe and seeds of this species are believed to have arrived in North America in alfalfa seeds shipped to California.

 Eurasian Insectivores and Tree Shrews - Status Survey and Conservation Action Plan, 1995: Soricidae - Crocidura I
The Soricidae are divided into two sub-families: the Crocidurinae (white-toothed shrews) and the Soricinae (red-toothed shrews) (see Tables 2.3 and 2.4 for further taxonomic details).
The genus Crocidura ('white-toothed shrews') is a widespread and highly variable Old World genus, which is found in many African countries, much of continental Europe and parts of south-eastern Asia.
This genus comprises 151 species (55 of which are represented in Eurasia), which are distinguished from other shrews (sub-family Soricinae) by their unpigmented teeth, the presence of three upper unicuspids, long scattered hairs on the tail, and more prominent ears than in either the Sorex or Neomys genera.

When we teased it apart, we found the remains of at least three small mammals.
Two of the partial skulls and a single mandible are from shrews (family Soricidae) of the subfamily Soricinae, also known as the Red-toothed Shrews.
The reddish colour is the result of iron deposited in the tooth enamel.

 SHREWS & MOLES
This family of 22 genera and 322 species (Nowak) is found on all continents except Australia and Antarctica and other smaller land areas.
The family Soricidae is divided into two subfamilies, with all North American shrews in the subfamily Soricinae.
These are called the red-toothed shrews because of the red or chestnut pigments on the tips of their teeth.

This behaviour has also been observed in some species in genus Sorex.
Congosorex, Myosorex and Surdisorex are members of the subfamily Myosoricinae, which is related to the Soricinae instead of the other Crocidurinae.
This list is probably not completely correct, however, I'll wait until the new edition of Mammal Species of the World before editing (My first reaction when I saw this was: Oh no, do I really have to make this correct?).
