- Mexican pygmy mouse, Baiomys musculus
- Northern pygmy mouse, Baiomys taylori
Additionally, there are seven known fossil species:[1][2]

- Baiomys brachygnathus (Gidley, 1922)
- Baiomys intermedius Packard & T. Alvarez, 1965
- Baiomys kolbi Hibbard, 1952
- Baiomys minimus (Gidley, 1922)
- Baiomys rexroadi Hibbard, 1941
- Baiomys sawrockensis Hibbard, 1953
