The wandering Oldfield mouse, also called the wandering thomasomys, is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It has been found in both the Cordillera Oriental and Cordillera Occidental of the Andes in central and north central Ecuador, at elevations from 2400 to 3600 m. It has terrestrial habits, and has been found in cloud forest and areas of secondary vegetation. It was formerly considered a subspecies of T. cinereiventer.
The large-eared Oldfield mouse is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is known only from a single locality in the Andes in north central Peru, in montane forest at an elevation of 3300 m. It has terrestrial habits and is sympatric with T. apeco.
The Popayán Oldfield mouse, also called the "Popayán thomasomys", is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is present in the Andes of southwestern and central western Colombia, at elevations from 1800 to 3200 m. It has been found in páramo, montane forest, and secondary forest. It was formerly considered a subspecies of T. aureus. T. nicefori, presently considered a synonym, will likely be raised to the status of a separate species. The specific name comes from the Colombian city of Popayán.
Thomasomys ucucha, also known as the ucucha thomasomys, is a rodent in the genus Thomasomys of the family Cricetidae. It is known only from high altitude forest and grassland habitats in the Cordillera Oriental of Ecuador. Seven other species of Thomasomys live in the same areas. First collected in 1903, T. ucucha was formally described as a new species in 2003 and most closely resembles T. hylophilus, which occurs further to the north. The species is listed as "vulnerable" in the IUCN Red List as a result of habitat destruction.
