Head-body 28.7-30.7 cm, tail 26.5-37.7 cm; weight 396 640 g. Mcllhenny’s Four-eyed Opossum has nearly black fur along mid-dorsum and lacks distinct mid-dorsal stripe. Although indistinct blackish stripe occurs in some specimens on the shoulder region, it becomes diffuse and indistinct toward rump. Dense, coarse guard hairs (c.18 mm long) are present on dorsum. Body sides are slightly grayer, with silver-tipped hairs. Head is colored as dorsum, with large, pale, supraocular spots. There is no mid-rostral stripe. Tail length is about the same as headbody length, and tail has black fur on more than 23% ofits length. Naked part oftail is black, without any spots, but generally paler on distal one-half. Ventral fur is black with gray-based and silver-tipped hairs, and sometimes there is a pale patch on chin and chest. Fur is long and coarse on dorsum. Feet are black. Females have a pouch, but number of mammae is unknown. Mcllhenny’s Four-eyed Opossum has a 2n = 22, FN = 20 karyotype, with all acrocentric autosomes, and with acrocentric X-chromosome and Y-chromosome. There is no sexual dimorphism in skull size and shape.
Dry tropical forest (type locality), both undisturbed and disturbed. In the central Amazon of Brazil, Mcllhenny’s Four-eyed Opossums were trapped in undisturbed terra firma forest and second-growth forest.
Female Mcllhenny’s Four-eyed Opossums with pouch young were collected in April and June at the type locality and in February, March,July, August, and September in central Amazon, Brazil, suggesting that they breed throughout the year. Litter size varies from four to seven young, with a modal numberoffive young. Nevertheless, in Amazonian Peru, almost all breeding females were captured in the wet season when an average of 4-4 young/litter was recorded.
