Archboldomys

Archboldomys, the shrew-mice, are a genus of rodents in the family Muridae. They are carnivores that feed on invertebrates much like shrews do. An apparently smaller relatives of the true shrew-rats Chrotomys and Rhynchomys, Archboldomys are somewhat convergent to the more distantly related Crunomys.

The species are:

Mount Isarog shrew mouse, Archboldomys luzonensis

Sierra Madre shrew mouse, Archboldomys musseri

Cordillera shrew mouse, Archboldomys kalinga

A. kalinga was only discovered on March 30, 2000, and described in 2006.
