Genus Gracilinanus Gardner and Creighton, 1989 View in CoL
TYPE SPECIES: Didelphys microtarsus Wagner, 1842 , by original designation.
SYNONYMS: None.
REMARKS: See Voss and Jansa (2009) for an emended generic description. The monophyly of Gracilinanus (as recognized herein) is strongly supported by phylogenetic analyses of multilocus datasets (e.g., Voss and Jansa, 2009; Díaz-Nieto et al., 2016a; Amador and Giannini, 2016). At least seven species are currently thought to be valid, but unpublished preliminary results suggest that more remain to be described.
