The genera Congosorex, Surdisorex, Solisorex, Paracrocidura, Crocidura, Chimarrogale, Chodsigoa, Megasorex, Nectogale, and Notiosorex have three upper unicuspids.

For example, some species in the genera Chimarrogale, Nectogale, Neomys, and Sorex have stiff hairs on the sides of their toes and feet, both on their fore and hind limbs.

Among shrews, the members of the genera Chimarrogale of southeastern Asia and Neomys of western Eurasia have interdigital webbing, as does the American water shrew (Sorex palustris) of North America, but it is more well-developed in Nectogale elegans of montane Asia.
