Didelphis cf. imperfecta

MZUT T466 (332); mount; female ad.; Cayenne (French Guyana); 1810; purchased in Paris by Franco Andrea Bonelli;

MZUT T467 (333); mount; unsexed juv.; Cayenne (French Guyana); 1822; from Mr. Banon.

Remarks: The specimens MZUT T466 and 467, previously cited as D. marsupialis, could not be identified at species level due to the faded coloration of the skins. But since they present whiter faces, they could be, instead, representatives of D. imperfecta .
