Laurie's moss mouse (Pseudohydromys eleanorae) [2]
One-toothed shrew mouse (Pseudohydromys ellermani)
Mottled-tailed shrew mouse (Pseudohydromys fuscus)
German's one-toothed moss mouse (Pseudohydromys germani)
Eastern shrew mouse (Pseudohydromys murinus)
Musser's shrew mouse (Pseudohydromys musseri)

Woolley's moss mouse (Pseudohydromys patriciae) [2]
Southern small-toothed moss mouse (Pseudohydromys pumehanae) [2]
