Because the importance of Seba specimens as potential Linnaean types has long been known to taxonomists, and because all the major museums in these cities are (or were) centers of active zoological research, it seems unlikely that any 18th-century specimen convincingly identifiable as the opossum illustrated by Seba would have remained undetected to the present day; nor, having been identified as such, is it likely that its significance as
