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.
