| Author: | Wagner, 1847. | | Citation: | Abh. Akad. Wiss., München, 5(1): 151, footnote. | | Common Name: | Yellow-sided Opossum | | Type Locality: | Uruguay, Maldonado, "Maldonado am la Plata." | | Distribution: | Uruguay, SE Brazil, and NE Argentina. | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (nt). | | Comments: | See Pine et al. (1985). Peramys brachyurus as used by Lesson, 1842 (= Didelphys dimidiata Wagner, 1847), is the type species of Peramys Lesson, 1842. Didelphys dimidiata Wagner is the type species of Minuania Cabrera, 1919; therefore Minuania Cabrera is a junior objective synonym of Peramys Lesson. |
