User:Ucucha/List of mammals/Muridae

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is part of a list of all currently recognized species of mammals:

It is based on the third edition of Mammal Species of the World (Wilson and Reeder, 2005) and incorporates changes made since then in the systematic literature. In addition, it strives to incorporate all mammal species that are known to have existed during the Holocene, so as to give a more complete picture of Recent mammal diversity.

This document is intended primarily to gauge the completeness of our coverage of mammals. Please do not fix links or make changes in spelling and taxonomy, but let me know when you think you have discovered an error. In case of differences between this list and Wikipedia articles in spelling or taxonomy, this list is more likely to be correct. This file is generated automatically from a CSV file by a script.

Dasymys Peters, 1875
Comments: Classification generally follows Mullin et al. (2004)[13]. This is a taxonomically problematic genus because two highly different classifications (Wilson & Reeder, 2005[14] and Mullin et al., 2004)[13] have been published recently.

Bulletin van Het Koninklijk Belgisch Instituut voor Natuurwetenschappen, Biologie. 73: 27–71.
Comments: Also described as D. shortridgei Mullin et al., 2004,[13] but D. cabrali Verheyen et al., 2003 is older. These two names have the same type locality and nearly the same holotype, so it seems highly likely that they are identical (cf. Hoffmann et al., 2009)[15].

Comments: A new species.
Comments: Mullin et al. (2004)[13] expanded the range of D. rufulus to include Central and East African populations formerly placed in D. incomtus. They included the name bentleyae Thomas, 1892, but apparently overlooked that this name predates rufulus Miller, 1900. Here, Musser and Carleton's (2005)[14] restricted definition of rufulus is provisionally followed.
