About
Asoriculus is an extinct genus of terrestrial shrews in the subfamily Soricinae and tribe Nectogalini, native to Europe West Asia and North Africa, from the Late Miocene until the late Holocene. The genus is closely related and probably ancestral to the also recently-extinct Balearic shrews (Nesiotites), with their closest living relative being the Soriculus shrews native to the Himalayas and surrounding areas.
