There are currently 1258 genera, 156 families, 29 orders, and around 5937 recognized living species of mammal.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tree of Life Web Project )〕 Mammalian taxonomy is in constant flux as many new species are described and recategorized within their respective genera and families. The taxonomy represented here is a compilation of the most logical and up-to-date information on mammalian taxonomy from many sources, the main ones being the HMW series and the Mammals Species of the World by Wilson and Reeder. ==Afrosoricida== Tenrecs (Tenrecidae, included in the Suborder Tenrecomorpha) and golden moles (Chrysochloridae, included in Suborder Chrysochloridea) are part of the African radiation of mammals known as Afrotheria, and their distribution consists of Sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar. There are 55 species in 21 genera; 34 species are tenrecs and otter shrews, and the other 21 species are golden moles. tenrecs have a large diversity of species in Madagascar, with 31 species found there, while the 3 other species are found in the Central and West African Rain Forests. The 20 species of golden mole are found mostly in the East and South African Savannas and Desserts. *Family Tenrecidae tenrecs and otter shrews * *Subfamily Geogalinae * * *Genus ''Geogale'' long-eared tenrec * *Subfamily Tenrecinae * * *Genus ''Setifer'' greater hedgehog tenrec * * *Genus ''Echinops'' lesser hedgehog tenrec * * *Genus ''Hemicentetes'' streaked tenrecs * * *Genus ''Tenrec'' common tenrec * *Subfamily Oryzorictinae * * *Genus ''Microgale'' shrew tenrecs * * *Genus ''Oryzorictes'' rice tenrecs * * *Genus ''Limnogale'' web-footed tenrec * *Subfamily Potamogalinae * * *Genus ''Micropotamogale'' otter shrews * * *Genus ''Potamogale'' giant otter shrew *Family Chrysochloridae golden moles * *Genus ''Chrysospalax'' giant golden moles * *Genus ''Calcochloris'' yellow golden moles * *Genus ''Eremitalpa'' Grant's golden mole * *Genus ''Cryptochloris'' cryptic golden moles * *Genus ''Kilimatalpa'' Stuhlmann's golden mole * *Genus ''Chrysochloris'' Cape golden moles * *Genus ''Huetia'' Congo golden mole * *Genus ''Chlorotalpa'' forty-toothed golden moles * *Genus ''Carpitalpa'' Arend's golden mole * *Genus ''Neamblysomus'' lesser narrow-headed golden moles * *Genus ''Amblysomus'' narrow-headed golden moles 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of mammal genera」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
