The Indian ground mouse belongs to the genus Nesokia of the subfamily Murinae. There are 2 species in the world and 1 species in China. There is not much controversy about the species status. In history, my country has named 2 species of ground mice, which were later proved to be synonyms of the Indian ground mouse. There are many subspecies, but the Chinese subspecies is unknown. The typical habitat of this species is reed meadows. Its main food is underground rhizomes, which are harmful to crops.
