The nineteen species in the genus ''Marmosa'' are relatively small Neotropic members of the family Didelphidae. This genus is one of three that are known as mouse opossums. The others are ''Thylamys'' (the "fat-tailed mouse opossums") and ''Tlacuatzin'', the grayish mouse opossum. Members of the genus ''Marmosops'' used to be called "slender mouse opossums", but are now just called "slender opossums". The six members of the ''Marmosa'' subgenus ''Micoureus'', known as "woolly mouse opossums", were formerly considered to be a separate genus, but were moved into ''Marmosa'' in 2009. The species in subgenus ''Marmosa'' (Gray, 1821) are: *''Marmosa andersoni'' *''Marmosa isthmica'' *''Marmosa lepida'' *''Marmosa mexicana'' *''Marmosa murina'' *''Marmosa macrotarsus'' *''Marmosa robinsoni'' *''Marmosa rubra'' *''Marmosa simonsi'' *''Marmosa tyleriana'' *''Marmosa waterhousei'' *''Marmosa xerophila'' *''Marmosa zeledoni'' The species in subgenus ''Micoureus'' (Lesson, 1842) are: * ''Marmosa alstoni'' * ''Marmosa constantiae'' * ''Marmosa demerarae'' * ''Marmosa paraguayana'' * ''Marmosa phaea'' * ''Marmosa regina'' ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marmosa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
