The last family, Chrysochloridae, is represented by the golden moles of South and East Africa, which differ from the Centetidae and Solenodontidae by the development of a bulla to the tympanic, and the presence of a zygomatic arch to the Golden skull; the tibia and fibula being separate, and the sym- physis of the pelvis forThed merely by ligament.

The Chrysochloridae is thus a truly southern African flagship biodiversity, and one that is in urgent need of further taxonomic study to facilitate effective conservation strategies. (Full text)
It is, however, very noteworthy that one peculiar family (Solenodontidae) of the order, apparently nearly allied to the Malagasy Centetidae (tenrecs), occurs in the ~Vcst Indies, while the extinct Necrolesles, believed to be near akin to the African golden moles (Chrysochloridae), is found in the Santa Cruz beds.
