  Deomyinae - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The subfamily Deomyinae consists of four genera of mouse-like rodents that were placed in the subfamilies Murinae and Dendromurinae until very recently.
Deomyinae is the older and more appropriate name.
Deomyines share no morphological characteristics that can be used to separate them from other muroids, though subtle aspects of the third upper molar have been suggested.

The divergence between the Murinae and the Deomyinae- Gerbillinae was estimated at 20.6 to 22.5 Mya (CI 18.3 to 23.8 Mya; "F"), and the Deomyinae and Gerbillinae split at 17.6 to 20.0 Mya (CI 15.4 to 21.3 Mya; "M").
The Deomyinae are defined as the most recent common ancestor of Deomys, Acornys, Lophuromys, and Uromys (several data sets support the inclusion of Uromys in this clade) and all its descendants.
The revised definition of the Muridae is the most recent common ancestor of the Murinae, Deomyinae, and Gerbillinae and all of its descendants.

The association with Lophuromys is thought to be due to convergent evolution due to a similar diet (Dieterlen, 1976).
They placed it in the family Muridae due to its potential connection to either the Gerbillinae or Deomyinae, but emphasized that a broad phylogenetic study including Leimacomys, and a host of Nesomyidae and murids is needed to determine its appropriate position.
The Togo Mouse is considered to be either critically endangered or extinct depending on the authority.
