The Peruvian short-tailed opossum (Monodelphis peruviana) is a species of marsupial in the family Didelphidae[1].It is found in Bolivia and Peru.[1]

Classification

[edit]

This species was initially described as Peramys peruvianus by Wilfred H. Osgood in 1913.[2] It was later placed in the genus Monodelphis and was included under the species M. adusta (sepia short-tailed opossum) by Cabrera (1958).[3] S. Solari (2004), while comparing and revising diagnoses of specimens of the species M. adusta with Monodelphis ronaldi sp. nov., found that Monodelphis adusta peruvianus was differentiable from M. adusta; having a shorter head-body length but longer dorsal hair than M. adusta.[3]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
