In listing the subspecific names given immediately above we are aware
of the possibility that a thorough study of the geographic variation in
_Didelphis marsupialis_ may contract or expand the list of recognizable
subspecies. We are aware also that Hershkovitz (Fieldiana: Zoology, 31
(No. 47):548, July 10, 1951) has arranged several of the subspecific
names listed immediately above as synonyms of _Didelphis marsupialis
californica_ Bennett. We have not employed his arrangement because he
has not given proof that the currently recognized subspecies are
indistinguishable.
~Caluromys derbianus canus~ (Matschie)
Matschie (Sitzungsberichte der Gesellschaft Naturforschender Freunde zu
Berlin, Jahrgang 1917, p. 284 (for April), September, 1917) applied the
name _Micoureus canus_ to a specimen on which the locality was no more
precise than Nicaragua. Comparison of Matschie's description with
specimens in the United States National Museum (including the holotype
of _Philander centralis_ Hollister and referred specimens of _Philander
laniger pallidus_ Thomas) reveals that Matschie's specimen was
intermediate in coloration between the other two kinds of woolly
opossums named above and t
