Archboldomys, the shrew-mice, are a genus of rodents in the family Muridae. They are carnivores that feed on invertebrates much like shrews do. A apparently smaller relatives of the true shrew-rats Chrotomys and Rhynchomys, Archboldomys are somewhat convergent to the more distantly related Crunomys.[1]

The species are:[2]

* Mt 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.[1]
