Subgenus Monodelphiops Matschie, 1916

TYPE SPECIES: Microdelphys sorex Hensel, 1872 (= Monodelphis dimidiata ; see below), by original designation.

SYNONYMS: Minuania Cabrera, 1919 .

REMARKS: See Pavan and Voss (2016) for a morphological diagnosis of this taxon. Subgeneric monophyly remains to be effectively tested due to the absence of molecular sequence data from Monodelphis unistriata , the taxonomic status of which also remains unclear (see below). Two species are currently recognized.
