Strict consensus of the most parsimonious phylogenetic tree for the Talpidae (see Material and methods section) including Vulcanoscaptor gen. nov. Background colors separate traditional groups, supporting the division into three subfamilies, namely Uropsilinae, Desmaninae, and Talpinae, the latter of which divided into several tribes (Urotrichini, Scaptonichini, Condylurini, Talpini, and Scalopini).
