Marmosa murina: Comments
Comment:
Comments: Tate (1933) recognized 8 subspecies and Cabrera (1959) recognized 7; however, limits between subspecies are unclear and the species is treated here as monotypic pending revision. Work by Patton and Costa (2003) suggests that, as currently understood, murina is composite. Didelphis murina Linnaeus, 1758, is the type species of Asagis Gloger, 1841; Notagogus Gloger, 1841; Grymaeomys Burmeister, 1854; and Cuica Liais, 1872
