Evotomys caurinus, Evotomys phaeus, Evotomys carolinensis, Evotomys galei, Evotomys limitis, Evotomys occidentalis, Evotomys ungava, Evotomys pygmaeus, Evotomys idahoensis, Evotomys nivarius, Evotomys proteus, Evotomys wrangeli, Evotomys fuscodorsalis), M. andersoni, M. glareolus, M. rutilus (syn. Evotomys alascensis, Evotomys orca, Clethrionomys albiventer, Evotomys dawsoni)

It was synonymized subjectively with Myodes by Galewski et al. (2006).

It was assigned to Microtinae by Kurten and Anderson (1980); to Cricetidae by Tilesius (1850), Wilson (1967) and McKenna and Bell (1997); and to Arvicolinae by Seymour (2004).
Evotomys was named by Coues (1874) [type Mus rutilus Pallas 1779, senior synonym of Clethrionomys glareolus, genotype of that genus]. Its type is Mus rutilus.

It was reranked as Arvicola (Evotomys) by Newton (1882); it was synonymized subjectively with Clethrionomys by Bailey (1937), Rausch (1950), Rausch (1952), Manning (1957) and Hall (1981).
