muroid

English

Noun

muroid (plural muroids)

  1. Any rodent of the superfamily Muroidea; the hypernymy of the words in their strict/narrow senses is muroid (superfamily Muroidea) > murid (family Muridae) > murine (subfamily Murinae), although in broad use the taxon-specific distinctions below superfamily are often ignored.
