Abstract

ABSTRACT Phylogenetic analyses of molecular sequence data obtained from the holotype of Marmosa regina Thomas, 1898, together with a reassessment of its morphological characters indicate that this species does not belong to the subgenus Micoureus as previously believed. Instead, both molecular and phenotypic data are consistent with the hypothesis that M. regina is a senior synonym of M. isthmica Goldman, 1912, in the subgenus Exulomarmosa. Because replacing isthmica with regina would create nomenclatural confusion, we recommend maintaining current usage of the former name and suppressing usage of the latter.

论维多利亚的老鼠Opossum，Marmosa regina Thomas，1898

摘要：从区域Marmosa的正模标本中获得的分子序列数据的系统发育分析，Thomas，1898，以及对其形态特征的重新评估表明，该物种不属于以前认为的Micoureus亚属。相反，分子和表型数据都与M.regina是M.isthmica Goldman（1912）在Exulomarmosa亚属中的高级异名的假设一致。因为用regina代替isthmica会造成命名混乱，我们建议保持前一个名称的当前用法，并抑制后一个名称。
