Genus
Mus
Linnaeus, 1758
According to
Musser & Carleton (2005)
,
M. neavei
Thomas, 1910
(group
sorella
) and
Mus minutoides
Smith, 1834
occur in south
Tanzania
.
Mus minutoides
is found in southern and eastern regions of
South Africa
from
Mozambique
(south of the Zambezi river) to the Cape and according to
Musser & Carleton (2005)
its northern limits are unkown. Previous cytogenetical works have already focused the important genetic variability in this group which is subjected to Robertsonian fusions (
