The Szechuan vole (Volemys millicens) is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found only in northwestern Sichuan, China. It is one of two species in the genus Volemys along with Marie's vole (Volemys musseri).

Some refer to the subfamily as the Microtinae or rank the taxon as a full family, the Arvicolidae.
The Chinese dormouse or Sichuan dormouse is a species of dormouse found in subalpine mixed forests in northern Sichuan, China, where it is known from Jiuzhaigou and Wanglang Nature Reserves.

It is currently the only member of the genus Chaetocauda. The two specimens had head and body lengths of 90mm and 91mm and tail lengths of 92mm and 102mm, respectively. They weighed 24.5 and 36.0 g.
