- Mesomys occultus, the Tufted-tailed spiny tree-rat
- Proechimys echinothrix, the Stiff-spine spiny rat
- Proechimys gardneri, the Gardner's spiny rat
- Proechimys kulinae, the Kulina spiny rat.
- Proechimys pattoni, the Patton's spiny rat
- Neacomys aletheia, the Upper Juruá bristly mouse
- Neacomys elieceri, the Eliécer's bristly mouse
- Neacomys jau, the Jaú bristly mouse
- Neacomys marajoara, the Marajó bristly mouse
- Neacomys minutus, the Minute bristly mouse
- Neacomys musseri, the Musser's bristly mouse
- Neacomys vossi, the Voss's bristly mouse
