TYPE SPECIES: Didelphis brunii Quoy and Gaimard, 1830 (= Macropus muelleri Lesson, 1827).

COMMENTS: Does not include Dorcopsulus (see Flannery, 1990:89-92). The name Conoyces Lesson, 1842 was used for this genus by Troughton (1937), but Tate (1948«) showed that the type species of Conoyces is Didelphis brunii Gmelin, 1788 [= Thylogale brunii (Schreber, 1778)]; see under Thylogale.
