SYNONYMS: Asagis Gloger, 1841 ; Grymaeomys Burmeister, 1854 ; Cuica Liais, 1872 ; Grayium Kretzoi and Kretzoi, 2000 . REMARKS: For an emended generic description see Voss et al. (2014) , who additionally recognized the five subgenera listed below. Although Micoureus was formerly regarded as a separate genus (e.g., by Gardner and Creighton, 2008a), the monophyly of Marmosa —as recognized herein, including Micoureus as a subgenus—has been consistently and strongly supported by phylogenetic analyses of multilocus sequence datasets (e.g., by Voss and Jansa, 2009; Voss et al., 2014 ; Amador and Giannini, 2016).
