Note:
Martin, Duobinis-Gray & Crockett (2003) treat Mictomys as a separate genus from Synaptomys. Apparently they also include genus †Metaxyomys to Mictomys. They also separate †Plioctomys, Mictomys and Synaptomys to tribe Synaptomyini von Koeningswald & Martin, 1984, separate from Eurasian Lemmini Gray, 1825 (Myopus + Lemmus)
