High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Afroinsectiphilia (African insectivores) is a clade that has been proposed based on the results of recent molecular studies. Many of its orders were once regarded as part of the order Insectivora, but Insectivora is now considered to be polyphyletic and is, as a result, possibly obsolete. This proposed classification is based on molecular studies only, and there is no morphological evidence for it.
