- Huon small-toothed moss mouse (Pseudohydromys carlae) [2]
- Laurie's moss mouse (Pseudohydromys eleanorae) [2]
- 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)

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