Subgenera
Field mouse of the subgenus Mus.

All members of the Mus genus are referred to as mice. However, the term mouse can also be applied to species outside of this genus. Mouse often refers to any small muroid rodent, while rat refers to larger muroid rodents. Therefore these terms are not taxonomically specific. For simplicity, only the rodent subgenera belonging to the Mus genus are listed here.

Genus Mus - Typical mice

* Subgenus Coelomys (East Asia)
* Subgenus Mus (Eurasia to North Africa, except for the House mouse which is worldwide.)
* Subgenus Nannomys (Sub-Saharan Africa)
* Subgenus Pyromys (East Asia)
* Subgenus and species Mus lepidoides
