Examined material. BOLIVIA; Province of Ñuflo de Chávez of Santa Cruz Department; Centro “Chiquitos”; 16.3707°S, 062.0059°W; camera station 12 ( Table 1); first capture on 18 July 2017; secondary forest patch in pastureland.

Identification. This small, arboreal opossum was identified to genus by its size and slender body. However, with- out a specimen it is impossible to identify the species, and even the diagnosis of the genus is difficult. Thus, this opossum belonging to the genera Gracilinanus Gardner & Creighton, 1989 or Marmosops Matschie, 1916 is possible as well.
