Blanfordimys Euarvicola Hyranicola Iberomys Microtus Pedomys Pitymys Terricola †Tyrrhenicola Microtus is a genus of voles found in North America, Europe and northern Asia.

The genus name refers to the small ears of these animals.

They are stout rodents with short ears, legs and tails.

They eat green vegetation such as grasses and sedges in summer, and grains, seeds, root and bark at other times.
