MICROBIOTHERIIDAE

Once considered a subfamily of the Didelphidae, this marsupial family from
the Order Microbiotheria is represented by a single living species, the "Monito
del Monte" Dromiciops gliroides. Despite its current distribution, it is now
thought to be most closely related to ancestral Australian forms.
