They are the only members of the tribe Murini. However, the term mouse can also be applied to species outside of this genus.

	Middle Miocene The Middle Miocene is a sub-epoch of the Miocene Epoch made up of two stages: the Langhian and Serravallian stages. The Middle Miocene is preceded by the Early Miocene. The sub-epoch lasted from 15.97 ± 0.05 Ma to 11.608 ± 0.005 Ma (million years ago). During this period, a sharp drop in global temperatures took place. This event is known as the Middle Miocene Climate Transition. For the purpose of establishing European Land Mammal Ages The European Land Mammal Mega Zones (abbreviation: ELMMZ, more commonly known as European land mammal ages or ELMA) are zones in rock layers that have a specific assemblage of fossils (biozones) based on occurrences of fossil assemblages of Europ ... this sub-epoch is equivalent to the Astaracian age.

	Mus Musculus Domesticus ''Mus musculus domesticus'', the Western European house mouse, is a subspecies of the house mouse (''Mus musculus''). Some laboratory mouse strains, such as C57BL/6, are domesticated from ''M. m. domesticus''. Distribution In Europe, ''M. m. domesticus'' lives in Western and Northern Europe, while another subspecies, the Eastern European house mouse (''M. m. musculus'') lives in Eastern and Southern Europe. The area from Scandinavia to the Black Sea is a secondary hybrid zone for ''M. m. domesticus'' and ''M. m. musculus''. Habitats of ''M. m. domesticus'' also exist in the Middle East, Southern Asia, North Africa, North America, and some areas of Latin America and Oceania. Relations with humans ''M. m. domesticus'' is harmful to humans, for they can damage vegetation and field crops. It is also one of many invasive species An invasive species otherwise known as an alien is an introduced organism that becomes overpopulated and harms its new environment. Although most int ...

	Mus Cypriacus The Cypriot mouse (''Mus cypriacus'') is a species of mouse endemic to Cyprus. Its primary habitat seems to be the vineyards and fields of the Troödos Mountains region. The mouse was recognized as a new species in 2004 by Thomas Cucchi, a research fellow at the University of Durham. It was formally described in 2006,12 October 2006, in ''Zootaxa''. The Cypriot mouse has characteristics that distinguish it from other European mice: bigger ears, eyes and teeth; DNA tests confirmed that it was a distinct species. It is native to Cyprus. "All other endemic mammals of Mediterranean islands died out following the arrival of man, with the exception of two species of shrew. The new mouse of Cyprus is the only endemic rodent still alive, and as such can be considered as a living fossil," said Cucchi. Originally, Cucchi wanted to call it ''Mus Aphrodite'', as Cyprus is the birthplace of Aphrodite according to Greek mythology A major branch of classical mythology, Greek mythology i ...
