The Flores long-nosed rat, also known as Paula's long-nosed rat, is a species of rodent endemic to Flores Island, Indonesia. This species was first described from subfossil fragments collected in the 1950s by Theodor Verhoeven, who named it Paula's long-nosed rat, and was named Floresomys naso by Guy Musser in 1981. Since Floresomys was preoccupied, Musser changed the name to Paulamys, after Verhoeven's life partner Paula Hamerlinck. A living specimen was reported from the montane forest of western Flores in 1989. It is recorded as common between 1,000 and 2,000 m above sea level on the volcanic mountain Gunung Ranakah, but is believed to be threatened by habitat destruction. It is the only known member of the genus Paulamys. The genera Papagomys, Komodomys and Paulamys are closer related to each other than to other murids, suggesting an adaptive radiation.

Akodon budini, also known as Budin's akodont or Budin's grass mouse, is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in the Andes of northwestern Argentina and adjacent Bolivia. The species is named after Emilio Budin, an Argentine specimen collector who worked with Oldfield Thomas.

The Kachin red-backed vole is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in Kachin State in northern Burma. Although described as a species by Thomas in 1921, it was subsequently included as a subspecies of either E. melanogaster or E. miletus. Comparisons of a 1941 sampling showed that E. cachinus was indeed a separate species.
