For others, see text Soriculus is a genus of shrew native to the Himalayas, the adjacent Hengduan Mountains and surrounding areas.

[1] Species from the extinct European genus Asoriculus were also included here at one point.

Currently the genus contains the extinct species Soriculus kashmiriensis and Soriculus kubinyi,[2] although in its description S. kashmiriensis was noted for being most closely related to species now placed in the genus Chodsigoa.

[3] DNA research has confirmed the close relationship of Soriculus with the recently extinct Asoriculus and Nesiotites shrews from Europe.

[4] Until 2023, only a single species Soriculus nigrescens, was generally considered valid.
