Genus Chacodelphys Voss et al., 2004

TYPE SPECIES: Marmosa formosa Shamel, 1930 , by original designation.

SYNONYMS: None.

REMARKS: An emended morphological description was provided by Voss and Jansa (2009). Phylogenetic analyses of multilocus sequence data have recovered Chacodelphys as the sister taxon of Cryptonanus within a monophyletic group of thylamy- ines that includes Gracilinanus , Lestodelphys , and Thylamys , but not Marmosops ( Díaz-Nieto et al., 2016a; Fegies et al., 2021). Only a single species is currently recognized.
