The Muroidea are a large superfamily of rodents, including hamsters, gerbils, true mice and rats, and many other relatives. They occupy a vast variety of habitats on every continent except Antarctica. Some authorities have placed all members of this group into a single family, Muridae, due to difficulties in determining how the subfamilies are related to one another. The following taxonomy is based on recent well-supported molecular phylogenies. The muroids are classified in six families, 19 subfamilies, around 280 genera, and at least 1300 species. ==Taxonomy== *Family Platacanthomyidae (spiny dormouse and pygmy dormice) *Family Spalacidae fossorial muroids * *Subfamily Myospalacinae (zokors) * *Subfamily Rhizomyinae (bamboo rats and root rats) * *Subfamily Spalacinae (blind mole rats) *Clade Eumuroida - typical muroids * *Family Calomyscidae * * *Subfamily Calomyscinae (mouse-like hamsters) * *Family Nesomyidae * * *Subfamily Cricetomyinae (pouched rats and mice) * * *Subfamily Dendromurinae (African climbing mice, gerbil mice, fat mice and forest mice) * * *Subfamily Mystromyinae (white-tailed rat) * * *Subfamily Nesomyinae (Malagasy rats and mice) * * *Subfamily Petromyscinae (rock mice and the climbing swamp mouse) * *Family Cricetidae * * *Subfamily Arvicolinae (voles, lemmings and muskrat) * * *Subfamily Cricetinae (true hamsters) * * *Subfamily Neotominae (North American rats and mice) * * *Subfamily Sigmodontinae (New World rats and mice) * * *Subfamily Tylomyinae * *Family Muridae * * *Subfamily Deomyinae (spiny mice, brush furred mice, link rat) * * *Subfamily Gerbillinae (gerbils, jirds and sand rats) * * *Subfamily Leimacomyinae (Togo Mouse) * * *Subfamily Lophiomyinae (crested rat) * * *Subfamily Murinae (Old World rats and mice including vlei rats) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Muroidea」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
