The '''Sigmodontinae''' is one of the most diverse groups of mammals. It includes at least 376 species. Many authorities include the [[Neotominae]] and [[Tylomyinae]] as part of a larger definition of Sigmodontinae. When those genera are included, the species count numbers at least 508. They are distributed throughout the [[New World]], but are predominantly [[South America]]n. The sigmodontines inhabit many of the same [[ecological niche]]s that the [[Murinae]] inhabit in the [[Old World]].
The "[[Thomasomyini]]" from the Atlantic Forest of [[Brazil]] are generally thought to be not especially related to the "real" [[Thomasomyini]] from the northern [[Andes]] and [[Amazonia]]. The genera ''[[Wiedomys]]'' and ''[[Sigmodon]]'' are generally placed in their own tribe, and the "phyllotines" ''[[Irenomys]]'', ''[[Punomys]]'', ''[[Euneomys]]'', and ''[[Reithrodon]]'' are considered ''incertae sedis''.
