Pseudohydromys is a genus of rodent in the family Muridae. It contains the following species:[1]

  • Bishop moss-mouse (Pseudohydromys berniceae) [2]
  • Huon small-toothed moss-mouse (Pseudohydromys carlae) [3]
  • Laurie’s moss-mouse (Pseudohydromys eleanorae) [4]
  • 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)
  • Western Shrew Mouse (Pseudohydromys occidentalis)
  • Woolley’s moss-mouse (Pseudohydromys patriciae) [5]
  • Southern small-toothed moss-mouse (Pseudohydromys pumehanae) [6]
  • White-bellied moss-mouse (Pseudohydromys sandrae) [7]

It wasn't until a 2009 revision that a general idea of the true taxonomic content of this genus was realized.
