List of murines

House mouse (Mus musculus)

Murinae is a subfamily of mammals in the rodent family Muridae, which in turn is part of the Myomorpha suborder in the order Rodentia. Members of this subfamily are called murines and include the Old World mice and rats. They are found in Africa, Australia, Asia, and Europe, primarily in forests, shrublands, grasslands, and savannas, and deserts, though some species can be found in deserts, rocky areas, wetlands, and coastal areas. They range in size from the African pygmy mouse, at 4 cm (2 in) plus a 2 cm (1 in) tail, to the Alpine woolly rat, at 47 cm (19 in) plus a 37 cm (15 in) tail. Murines generally eat a variety of vegeation and invertebrates. Few murines have population estimates, but 52 species are categorized as endangered, 13 are categorized as critically endangered, and 13 have been driven extinct since 1500.

The 642 extant species of Murinae are divided into 136 genera, ranging in size from 1 to 68 species. The house mouse has been domesticated as the fancy mouse to be kept as pets. ^[1] Several extinct prehistoric murine species have been discovered, though due to ongoing research and discoveries, the exact number and categorization are not fixed. ^[2]

The author citation for the species or genus is given after the scientific name; parentheses around the author citation indicate that this was not the original taxonomic placement. Conservation status codes listed follow the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. Range maps are provided wherever possible; if a range map is not available, a description of the gerbilline's range is provided. Ranges are based on the IUCN Red List for that species unless otherwise noted. All extinct species, subspecies, or genera listed alongside extant species went extinct after 1500 CE, and are indicated by a dagger symbol: "†".
