The subfamily Tylomyinae consists of several species of New World rats and mice including the vesper and climbing rats. They are not as well-known as their relatives in the subfamilies Sigmodontinae and Neotominae. Many authorities place all three of these subfamilies in a single subfamily, Sigmodontinae.
