Haeromys is a genus of rodent in the family Muridae endemic to Southeast Asia. It contains the following species:
The Old World rats and mice, part of the subfamily Murinae in the family Muridae, comprise at least 519 species. Members of this subfamily are called murines. In terms of species richness, this subfamily is larger than all mammal families except the Cricetidae and Muridae, and is larger than all mammal orders except the bats and the remainder of the rodents.
Apodemus is a genus of Muridae. The name is unrelated to that of the Mus genus, instead being derived from the Greek ἀπό-δημος.
Apomys, commonly known as earthworm mice, is a genus of rodent endemic to the Philippines. Mice belonging to this genus are generally called Philippine forest mice and can be found on most islands of the Philippines except in Palawan, the Sulu Archipelago, and the Batanes and Babuyan group of islands.
The genus Neacomys, also known as bristly mice because of their spiny fur, includes several species of rodents in the tribe Oryzomyini of family Cricetidae. It is most closely related to Oligoryzomys, Oreoryzomys, and Microryzomys. Neacomys species are mainly found in the Amazon basin, but N. pictus occurs in Panama and N. tenuipes in montane Colombia.
The eastern broad-toothed field mouse is a species of rodent in the family Muridae.
Habromys is a genus of rodent in the family Cricetidae, found in Mexico and Central America. It contains these species, all but one (H. lophurus) of which are threatened or endangered, five of them critically so. H. lophurus is near threatened.
The ranee mouse is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is restricted to the island of Borneo, in the provinces of Sarawak (Malaysia) and Sabah (Malaysia). Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests.
The Minahassa ranee mouse is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only on the island of Sulawesi (Indonesia).
The lesser ranee mouse is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found on the island of Borneo and the Palawan region (Philippines). Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests.
Hylomyscus is a genus of rodent in the family Muridae endemic to Africa.
Mastomys is a genus of rodent in the family Muridae endemic to Africa. It contains eight species:
Pogonomys is a genus of rodent in the family Muridae, found in New Guinea and the D'Entrecasteaux Islands, with one species being found also in Australia.
Pseudohydromys is a genus of rodent in the family Muridae endemic to New Guinea. It contains the following species:
The Hastings River mouse is a species of Australian rodent in the subfamily Murinae of the family Muridae. It is found only in Australia.

The dainty fat mouse is a species of rodent in the family Nesomyidae. It is found in Benin, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and Senegal. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry shrubland.
The central Sulawesi echiothrix is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Hydromyini is a very large, diverse tribe of muroid rodents in the subfamily Murinae. They are the dominant native rodents in Australasia and one of only two native rodent groups there, the other being the genus Rattus in the tribe Rattini. They are also found in parts of Southeast Asia.
