Subgenus Mygalodelphys Pavan and Voss, 2016
TYPE SPECIES: Peramys adustus Thomas, 1897 , by original designation.
SYNONYMS: None.
REMARKS: See Pavan and Voss (2016) for a diagnosis of this morphologically distinctive taxon. Subgeneric monophyly is strongly supported by phylogenetic analyses of the multilocus sequence datasets reported by Pavan et al. (2014, 2016) and by Bayesian analysis of the dataset reported by Vilela et al (2015). Nine species are currently recognized, but several of these are difficult to distinguish morphologically, and identifications of unsequenced specimens are correspondingly problematic.
