Praomyini is a tribe of muroid rodents in the subfamily Murinae. Species in this tribe are found mostly throughout Sub-Saharan Africa, but one species ( Mastomys erythroleucus ) is found in North Africa, and another ( Ochromyscus yemeni ) is found in the Arabian Peninsula. [1] [2] [3]

The Old World rats and mice, part of 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.

Hylomyscus is a genus of rodent in the family Muridae endemic to Africa.

<i>Mastomys</i> Genus of rodents

Mastomys is a genus of rodent in the family Muridae endemic to Africa. It contains eight species:

The Angolan multimammate mouse is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in Angola and Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was formerly classified in the genus Myomyscus but has been reclassified into the genus Mastomys. Its natural habitats are dry savanna and moist savanna.

Verreaux's mouse or Verreaux's white-footed rat is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is the only species in the genus Myomyscus. Other species that had been previously assigned to Myomyscus are now considered to belong to the genera Mastomys, Ochromyscus, Praomys and Stenocephalemys.

The delectable soft-furred mouse or East African praomys is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is the only member of the genus Montemys; it was formerly classified in the genus Praomys.

Ochromyscus is a genus of rodent in the family Muridae.

Congomys is a genus of rodent in the family Muridae. Both species in this genus were formerly classified in Praomys, and both are endemic to the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The Chingawa forest rat is a species of rodent endemic to Ethiopia. It is the only member of the monotypic genus Chingawaemys. It was only described in 2021, when it was discovered during a broad phylogenetic analysis of the tribe Praomyini.
