26-521: A new subfamily status, Deomyinae . Molecular phylogenetic studies of Murinae include Lecompte, et al. (2008), which analyzes African murine species based on the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene and two nuclear gene fragments. Lecompte, et al. (2008) estimates that African murines colonized Africa from Asia approximately 11 million years ago during the Miocene . The following phylogeny of 16 Murinae genera , based on molecular phylogenetic analysis of
39-699: A recent expedition in the Philippines, seven more Apomys mice were added and the genus was proposed to split into two subgenera - Apomys and Megapomys , based on morphological and cytochrome b DNA sequences. In 2021, a major revision was taken of Praomyini . The tribes are based on the classification by the American Society of Mammalogists . Some of the division placement is based on Pages et al ., 2015 and Rowe et al ., 2019. SUBFAMILY MURINAE - Old World rats and mice Abditomys The Luzon broad-toothed rat ( Abditomys latidens )
52-539: Is a genus of rodent in the family Muridae endemic to the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia . Up until 1973, it was known from only few examples of one species. Then Guy G. Musser collected more examples of this species during his stay in Sulawesi, as well as collecting two new species. And in 1981, as part of his huge project of sorting through the then very large genus Rattus , he described these as members of

78-523: Is now thought to be a member of the extant tribe Praomyini . All of these fossils are found in the well-preserved and easily dated Siwalik fossil beds of Pakistan . The transition from Potwarmus to Antemus to Progonomys and Karnimata is considered an excellent example of anagenic evolution . Most of the Murinae have been poorly studied. Some genera have been grouped, such as the hydromyine water rats, conilurine or pseudomyine Australian mice, or
91-471: Is particularly true in island communities where they have contributed to the endangerment and extinction of many native animals. Two prominent murine species have become vital laboratory animals : the brown rat and house mouse are both used as medical subjects. The murines have a distinctive molar pattern that involves three rows of cusps instead of two, the primitive pattern seen most frequently in muroid rodents . The first known appearance of
104-507: The Interphotoreceptor Retinoid Binding Protein (IRBP) gene, is from Jansa & Weksler (2004: 264). Phloeomys Micromys Maxomys Niviventer Sundamys Rattus Rhynchomys Otomys Aethomys Rhabdomys Grammomys Tokudaia Mus Mastomys Praomys Hylomyscus The following is a list of Murinae genus divisions ordered by
117-634: The subfamily Murinae in the family Muridae , comprise at least 519 species. Members of this subfamily are called murines . In terms of species richness, this subfamily is larger than all mammal families except the Cricetidae and Muridae , and is larger than all mammal orders except the bats and the remainder of the rodents . The Murinae are native to Africa , Europe , Asia , and Australia . They are terrestrial placental mammals . They have also been introduced to all continents except Antarctica , and are serious pest animals. This
130-467: The Murinae in the fossil record is about 14 million years ago with the fossil genus Antemus . Antemus is thought to derive directly from Potwarmus , which has a more primitive tooth pattern. Likewise, two genera, Progonomys and Karnimata , are thought to derive directly from Antemus . Progonomys is thought to be the ancestor of Mus and relatives, while Karnimata was previously thought to lead to Rattus and relatives, although it
143-547: The continents that they are endemic to. Most of the diversity is located in Southeast Asia and Australasia . As of 2005, the Murinae contained 129 genera in 584 species. Musser and Carleton (2005) divided the Murinae into 29 genus divisions. They treated the Otomyinae as a separate subfamily, but all molecular analyses conducted to date have supported their inclusion in the Murinae as relatives of African genera. In

#1732801735499156-518: The new genus, Margaretamys . The known distribution is the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. Samples are known from the northern peninsula, the central core and the southeastern peninsula, ranging from tropical lowlands to mountain ranges up to about 2250 m. Each species is represented by only few examples, and have proven difficult to catch, so each species may have wider distributions and more species may exist in areas not yet surveyed. It contains
169-575: The phloeomyine Southeast Asian forms. It appears as if genera from Southeast Asian islands and Australia may be early offshoots compared to mainland forms. The vlei rats in the genera Otomys and Parotomys are often placed in a separate subfamily, Otomyinae, but have been shown to be closely related to African murines in spite of their uniqueness. Three genera, Uranomys , Lophuromys , and Acomys , were once considered to be murines, but were found to be more closely related to gerbils through molecular phylogenetics . They have been assigned
