The [[subfamily (biology)|subfamily]] '''Talpinae''',<ref name=msw3>{{MSW3 Hutterer | pages = 302-310}}</ref> sometimes called "Old World moles" or "Old World moles and relatives", is one of three subfamilies of the [[mole (animal)|mole]] family [[Talpidae]], the others being the [[Scalopinae]], or New World moles, and the [[Uropsilinae]], or shrew-like moles.

These mammals in the order [[Eulipotyphla]] mainly live under ground. The species in this group are all found in [[Eurasia]], except ''[[Neurotrichus gibbsii]]''. Most species have front paws specialized for tunneling which are clawed and face outwards from the body. They mainly eat insects and other small invertebrates.

== Taxonomy ==
Although most systems recognize this subfamily as monophyletic, some studies indicate that it as currently defined is [[Paraphyly|paraphyletic]] with respect to the [[Scalopinae]], with [[Desman|Desmanini]] being the most basal member, then a clade comprising [[Neurotrichini]], [[Long-tailed mole|Scaptonychini]], and [[Urotrichini]], then the [[Condylura|Condylurini]] (otherwise classified in the [[Scalopinae]]), and then [[Talpini]] and [[Scalopini]] being sister groups to one another.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last1=Schwermann|first1=Achim H.|last2=He|first2=Kai|last3=Peters|first3=Benjamin J.|last4=Plogschties|first4=Thorsten|last5=Sansalone|first5=Gabriele|date=2019|title=Systematics and macroevolution of extant and fossil scalopine moles (Mammalia, Talpidae)|url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/pala.12422|journal=Palaeontology|language=en|volume=62|issue=4|pages=661–676|doi=10.1111/pala.12422|s2cid=134096608 |issn=1475-4983|doi-access=free|url-access=subscription|hdl=11380/1318333|hdl-access=free}}</ref>
