Fore- and hindlimb muscles were dissected in four species of Lipotyphla: the western European hedgehog Erinaceus europaeus (Erinaceidae, Erinaceinae); the moonrat Echinosorex gymnura (Erinaceidae, Hylomyinae or Galericinae); the tailless tenrec Tenrec ecaudatus (Tenrecidae, Tenrecinae); and the common European white-toothed shrew Crocidura russula (Soricidae, Soricinae). This work completely reviews the limb musculature of these walking mammals. Twelve myological characters were evaluated in order to disclose phylogenetic relationships. The cladogram obtained supported previous ones based on cranial and dental characters. This study shows that myological characters are valuable in phylogenetic analyses.
西欧刺猬（刺猬科，刺猬亚科）；月鼠（刺猬科，毛猬亚科或大林猬亚科）；无尾猬（无尾猬科，无尾猬亚科）；以及普通欧洲白齿鼩鼱（鼩鼱科，鼩鼱亚科）。这项工作全面回顾了这些行走哺乳动物的肢体肌肉组织。评估了12个肌学特征以揭示系统发育关系。得到的分支图支持了之前基于颅骨和牙齿特征得出的分支图。这项研究表明肌学特征在系统发育分析中很有价值。
