Asoriculus is an extinct genus of terrestrial shrews in the subfamily Soricinae (red-toothed shrews) and tribe Nectogalini. The best known species, Asoriculus gibberodon was widespread in Europe from the Late Miocene to the Early Pleistocene.[1]Insular species are known from the Mediterranean islands of Sicily (A. burgioi Late Pliocene-Early Pleistocene), and Corsica-Sardinia including A. corsicanus (Late Pliocene-Early Pleistocene) and A. similis (Early Pleistocene-Late Pleistocene/Holocene).[2][3]A. similis likely survived into the Holocene, when it became extinct after human settlement of the islands.[4] The genus Nesiotites (Late Miocene/Early Pliocene-Holocene) from the Balearic Islands, including the chronospeciesN. rafelinensis (earliest Pliocene), N. ponsi (Late Pliocene) and N. hidalgo (Middle Pleistocene-Holocene) is considered to descend from Asoriculus, likely A. gibberodon. The insular species of Asoriculus from Sicily and Corsica-Sardinia were formerly included in Nesiotites, but Nesiotites was later circumscribed to only include the Balearic species, as otherwise the genus would likely be polyphyletic.[5] The last Nesiotites chronospecies, N. hidalgo, became extinct shortly after human settlement of the Balearics around 2500 BC.[4] Both the insular species of Asoriculus and Nesiotites are larger than A. gibberodon, which has been suggested to be the result of island gigantism, with the Nesiotites lineage experiencing a gradual increase in size over time.[2] Based on DNA from Nesotites, and morphological similarities Asoriculus is considered to be most closely related to the Himalayan shrew (Soriculus). A molecular clock analysis suggests that Himalayan shrews and Balearic shrews diveraged approximately 6.44 million years ago.[1]
