''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''.〔Balete ''et al.'' (2006)〕 The species are:〔Musser & Carleton (2005), Balete ''et al.''
