Praomyini is a tribe of muroid rodents in the subfamily Murinae. Species in this tribe are found mostly throughout Sub-Saharan Africa, but one species (Mastomys erythroleucus) is found in North Africa, and another (Ochromyscus yemeni) is found in the Arabian Peninsula. In addition, one fossil genus (Karnimata) is known, which inhabited India and Pakistan (in addition to Kenya) during the Late Miocene.[1][2][3]
