[Didelphis] murina Linnaeus 1758 , Syst. Nat., 10th ed., Vol. 1: 55 View Cited Treatment .

Type Locality: "Asia, America;" restricted to Surinam by Thomas (1911 a) .

Vernacular Names: Linnaeus's Mouse Opossum.

Synonyms: Marmosa bombascarae Anthony 1922 ; Marmosa chloe Thomas 1907 ; Marmosa dorsigera ( Linnaeus 1758) ; Marmosa duidae Tate 1931 ; Marmosa guianensis ( Kerr 1792) ; Marmosa klagesi J. A. Allen 1900 ; Marmosa macrotarsus (Wagner 1842) ; Marmosa madeirensis Cabrera 1913 ; Marmosa maranii Thomas 1924 ; Marmosa meridionalis Miranda-Ribeiro 1936 ; Marmosa moreirae Miranda-Ribeiro 1936 ; Marmosa muscula (Cabanis 1848) ; Marmosa parata Thomas 1911 ; Marmosa roraimae Tate 1931 ; Marmosa tobagi Thomas 1911 ; Marmosa waterhousii (Tomes 1860) .

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Tate (1933) recognized 8 subspecies and Cabrera (1959) recognized 7; however, limits between subspecies are unclear and the species is treated here as monotypic pending revision. Work by Patton and Costa (2003) suggests that, as currently understood, murina is composite. The names marina E. Geoffroy, 1803 , and marina Gray, 1821 , are incorrect subsequent spellings of murina Linnaeus ; waterhausi Miranda-Ribeiro, 1936, is an incorrect subsequent spelling of waterhousii (Tomes) . Didelphis murina Linnaeus, 1758 , is the type species of Asagis Gloger, 1841 ; Notagogus Gloger, 1841 ; Grymaeomys Burmeister, 1854 ; and Cuica Liais, 1872 .
