Genus Mus Linnaeus, 1758 View in CoL
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 ( Matthey 1966, 1967, 1970a, b; Jotterand-Bellomo 1984, 1986; Veyrunes et al. 2004).
