1. Sigmodontinae

   The subfamily Sigmodontinae is one of the most diverse groups of mammals. It includes New World rats and mice, with at least 376 species. Many authorities include the Neotominae and Tylomyinae as part of a larger definition of Sigmodontinae. When those genera are included, the species count numbers at least 508. Their distribution includes much of the New World, but the genera are predominantly South American, such as brucies. They invaded South America from Central America as part of the Great American Interchange near the end of the Miocene, about 5 million years ago. Sigmodontines proceeded to diversify explosively in the formerly isolated continent. They inhabit many of the same ecological niches that the Murinae occupy in the Old World. The "Thomasomyini" from the Atlantic Forest of Brazil are generally thought to be not especially related to the "real" Thomasomyini from the northern Andes and Amazonia. The genera Wiedomys and Sigmodon are generally placed in their own tribe, and the "phyllotines" Irenomys, Punomys, Euneomys, and Reithrodon are considered incertae sedis. The Sigmodontinae are divided into a number of tribes and genera: ⁕SUBFAMILY SIGMODONTINAE ⁕Tribe SigmodontiniGenus Sigmodon - Cotton RatsSubgenus SigmodonSigmodon hispidus species groupAllen's Cotton Rat, Sigmodon alleniArizona Cotton Rat, Sigmodon arizonaeSouthern Cotton Rat, Sigmodon hirsutusHispid Cotton Rat, Sigmodon hispidusJaliscan Cotton Rat, Sigmodon mascotensisYellow-nosed Cotton Rat, Sigmodon ochrognathusMiahuatlán Cotton Rat, Sigmodon planifronsToltec Cotton Rat, Sigmodon toltecusMontane Cotton Rat, Sigmodon zanjonensisSigmodon fulviventer species groupTawny-bellied Cotton Rat, Sigmodon fulviventerUnexpected Cotton Rat, Sigmodon inopinatusWhite-eared Cotton Rat, Sigmodon leucotisPeruvian Cotton Rat, Sigmodon peruanusSubgenus SigmomysAlston's Cotton Rat, Sigmodon alstoniTribe IchthyomyiniGenus Anotomys - Ecuadorian Fish-eating RatAquatic Rat, Anotomys leanderGenus Chibchanomys - Water MiceLas Cajas Water Mouse, Chibchanomys orcesiChibchan Water Mouse, Chibchanomys trichotisGenus Ichthyomys - Crab-eating RatsCrab-eating Rat, Ichthyomys hydrobatesPittier's Crab-eating Rat, Ichthyomys pittieriStolzmann's Crab-eating Rat, Ichthyomys stolzmanniTweedy's Crab-eating Rat, Ichthyomys tweediiGenus Neusticomys - Fish-eating RatsFerreira's Fish-eating Rat, Neusticomys ferreiraiMontane Fish-eating Rat, Neusticomys monticolusMusso's Fish-eating Rat, Neusticomys mussoiOyapock's Fish-eating Rat, Neusticomys oyapockiPeruvian Fish-eating Rat, Neusticomys peruviensisVenezuelan Fish-eating Rat, Neusticomys venezuelaeGenus Rheomys - Water MiceMexican Water Mouse, Rheomys mexicanusGoldman's Water Mouse, Rheomys raptorThomas's Water Mouse, Rheomys thomasiUnderwood's Water Mouse, Rheomys underwoodiOryzomyaliaTribe OryzomyiniGenus AegialomysGalápagos Rice Rat, Aegialomys galapagoensisYellowish Rice Rat, Aegialomys xanthaeolusGenus Amphinectomys - Ucayali Water RatUcayali Water Rat, Amphinectomys savamisGenus CerradomysCerradomys langguthiCerradomys maracajuensisCerradomys marinhusCerradomys scotti Terraced Rice Rat, Cerradomys subflavusCerradomys vivoiGenus DrymoreomysDrymoreomys albimaculatusGenus EremoryzomysGrey Rice Rat, Eremoryzomys poliusGenus EuryoryzomysEmmons's Rice Rat, Euryoryzomys emmonsaeMonster Rice Rat, Euryoryzomys lamiaBig-headed Rice Rat, Euryoryzomys legatusMacConnell's Rice Rat, Euryoryzomys macconnelliElegant Rice Rat, Euryoryzomys nitidusRusset Rice Rat, Euryoryzomys russatusGenus HandleyomysAlfaro's Rice Rat, Handleyomys alfaroiChapman's Rice Rat, Handleyomys chapmaniDusky-footed Handley's Mouse, Handleyomys fuscatusColombian Rice Rat, Handleyomys intectusBlack-eared Rice Rat, Handleyomys melanotisStriped Rice Rat, Handleyomys rhabdopsLong-nosed Rice Rat, Handleyomys rostratusCloud Forest Rice Rat, Handleyomys saturatiorGenus Holochilus - Marsh RatsWeb-footed Marsh Rat, Holochilus brasiliensisChaco Marsh Rat, Holochilus chacariusCommon Marsh Rat,
