Caluromys J. A. Allen, 1900 View in CoL . Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 13:189.

TYPE SPECIES: Didelphis philander Linnaeus, 1758 View in CoL , by original designation.

SYNONYMS: Mallodelphys Thomas, 1920 (type species Didelphis laniger Desmarest, 1820 , by original designation; valid as a subgenus to include C. derbianus and C. lanatus ); Philander Burmeister, 1856 (preoccupied by Philander Tiedemann, 1808); Sarigua Muirhead, 1819 (part).

COMMENTS: Comparatively uncommon to rare in collections, perhaps due to nocturnal and arboreal habits; but probably common in suitable habitat. Vulnerable to loss of tropical forest habitat.
