Apodemini is a tribe of muroid rodents in the subfamily Murinae. [1] [2] It contains two extant genera, one found throughout Eurasia and the other endemic to the Ryukyu Islands. Several fossil genera are also known from throughout Eurasia, including one large species ( Rhagamys ) that persisted on Sardinia and Corsica up until at least the first millennium BC, when it was likely wiped out by human activity.
