刚果攀鼠亚科
刚果攀鼠亚科（学名：Deomyinae）是啮齿目鼠科五个亚科当中最新的一个亚科，包含四个属；成立以前，本亚科的成员旧属鼠亚科或Dendromurinae。有部分文献称呼本亚科为 非洲刺毛鼠科（学名：Acomyinae），特别是在本亚科演化支存在的关键物种、刚果攀鼠属的Deomys ferugineus被发现之前。由于刚果攀鼠属的学名比非洲刺毛鼠属较早被命名，所以在这条演化支的命名上有优化权。

在生物形态学上，本亚科物种并没有可以与其他亚科成员分辨出来的明显特征。由文献提出可从它们是否存在第三上大臼齿来判断，但不获普遍接纳。所以本亚科纯綷是因为基因突变的共同特征而成立的，而这涉及对这些物种的细胞核、线粒体DNA及DNA-DNA杂化在统计学上的分析。基于这个理由，预期当科学家对其他鼠科物种的分子系统发生学研究增加，本亚科成员可能会继续增加，从其他亚科（很可能还是鼠亚科或Dendromurinae ）迁入。
