This study was carried out in 2021-2022. By referencing published scientific documents and reviewing museum specimens stored at the Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources, we have established the List of Vietnam Rodents updated to 2022 including 71 species and 22 subspecies of 34 genera and seven families. Compared with the previous lists before 2010, this List has five species excluded because they were misidentified
13 species have their taxonomic position or scientific name changed by recent reviews
six species, three genera, and one family related to recently discovered species. We recommend that the museum specimens of Vietnam mammals need to be reviewed to adjust their classification position and make scientific names consistent with this updated list. Future studies also need to use this updated List to build a list of rodent species for the study area. This will ensure the up-to-date taxonomic position of the taxa and the using the same taxonomic system that will be convenient for users, especially those who are not specialized in rodent taxonomy.
