Subgenus
Marmosops
Matschie, 1916
TYPE
SPECIES: As for the genus.
SYNONYMS: None.
REMARKS: Subgeneric monophyly is consistently and strongly supported by phylogenetic analyses of multilocus sequence datasets (e.g.,
Díaz-Nieto et al., 2016a
,
2016b
; Amador and Giannini, 2016). Two species are currently recognized from the Atlantic Forest of southeastern
Brazil
and another five from the Andes and Amazonia, but deep phylogeographic structure in several wide-ranging, unrevised species suggest the need for additional revisionary research (
Díaz-Nieto et al., 2016b
).
