Abstract: The Grey-bellied Pygmy Mouse (Mus triton) has been for a long time considered as a single species, although validity of the single species status was questioned. In order to revise current taxonomy of M. triton, I analyzed sequences of one mitochondrial (cytochrome b) and two nuclear genes (IRBP and Intron 7 of the fibrinogen) from specimens collected across the most of its known distributional range. Four well-supported phylogroups at species level, differentiated during the Plio-Pleistocene, were evidenced. Divergence dating suggests that the diversification of "triton" species complex was likely caused by Plio-Pleistocene climatic oscillations together with highly diverse topography of Eastern Africa
