GENUS Caluromys
Author: | J. A. Allen, 1900. | Citation: | Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 13: 189. | Type Species: | Didelphis philander Linnaeus, 1758, by original designation. | Comments: | Calurosymys Avila-Pires, 1964, is an incorrect subsequent spelling of Caluromys J. A. Allen. Comparatively uncommon to rare in collections, perhaps due to nocturnal and arboreal habits; but probably common in suitable habitat. Vulnerable to loss of tropical forest habitat. |
