Baiomyini is a tribe of rodents in the subfamily Neotominae occurring from the southern United States to Panama. It includes the genera Baiomys and Scotinomys, with a total of four living species.
Baiomyini rodents sing; they chirp to find a mating partner as well as to locate each other when they spread out (Miller and Engstrom, 2007).
