For zoologists as well as paleontologists, the spiny mouse Acomys has been classified as a true murine until recent immunological and karyological studies revealed some controversial results. The hypotheses that Acomys was not a murine, or perhaps not even a muride, has been tested by phylogenetic analysis of dental characteristics. Such a hypothesis implies too many reversals to be reliable. Other trees based on accepted polarities of dental characters show undoubtedly that Acomys is a murine but would probably be, together with Uranomys, an early offshoot within the murine radiation. This confirms karyological results indicating the possible early divergence of Acomys and Uranomys from the basal murine stem. Further investigations using scnDNA and mtDNA hybridization methods as well as cranial morphology are now needed to refine these results.
