REMARKS: Micoureus was formerly ranked as a genus (e.g., by Gardner and Creighton, 2008a), but this clade has been consistently recovered nested within Marmosa by phylogenetic analyses of multilocus sequence datasets (Voss and Jansa, 2009; Voss et al., 2014 ; Amador and Giannini, 2016). Thirteen species are currently recognized, most of which can be sorted into one or another of several groups based on robustly supported phylogenetic relationships (table 1).
