Your question is unclear. Muscovite is not a group name, but there are a number of polytypes, as listed by Fleischer's Glossary, 2008: -2M1, -1M, , and -2M2.
The micas are divided into three main subgroups: true micas, brittle micas, and interlayer-deficient micas. These total about 44 species.
There are also six incompletely investigated micas that are now considered to be series.
