Family Didelphidae Gray, 1821

The higher-level taxonomy of this family has changed dramatically from earlier treatments (e.g., Gardner, 2008a) due to the work of Voss and Jansa (2009). Based on strongly supported molecular and morphological analyses, they recognized four subfamilies in Didelphidae : Caluromyinae (for Caluromys and Caluromysiops ), Glironiinae (Glironia) , Hyladelphinae (Hyladelphys) , and Didelphinae . Additionally, they recognized four tribes in Didelphinae : Didelphini (for Chironectes , Didelphis , Lutreolina , and Philan- der), Marmosini ( Marmosa , Monodelphis , and Tlacuatzin ), Metachirini (Metachirus) , and Thylamyini ( Chacodelphys , Cryptonanus , Gracilinanus , Lestodelphys , Marmosops , and Thylamys ). Another taxonomic change suggested by Voss and Jansa (2009) is the recognition of the genus Micoureus as a subgenus of Marmosa .
