Eulipotyphla
Eulipotyphla
("truly fat and blind") is an
order
of
mammals
suggested by molecular methods of
phylogenetic
reconstruction, and includes the
laurasiatherian
members of the now-invalid
polyphyletic
order
Lipotyphla
, but not the
afrotherian
members (tenrecs and golden moles, now in their own order
Afrosoricida
). Lipotyphla in turn had been derived by removing a number of groups from the previously used
wastebasket taxon
Insectivora
.
