  AMNH Scientific Publications: Item 2246/2770
"Dromiciops gliroides is the single extant representative of the marsupial family Microbiotheriidae.
The importance of D. gliroides stems from its peculiar cranial anatomy (specifically the configuration of the tympanic region) and dentition and from its controversial position in the phylogenetic tree of marsupials--a South American form more closely related to Australasian marsupials.
We studied the postnatal ontogeny of the skull in D. gliroides by analyzing qualitative and allometric aspects of the development of cranial structures.

Dromiciops gliroides (Monito del Monte, Colocolos) - English
The single living genus and species, Dromiciops australis, occurs only from the vicinity of Concepciуn south to Chiloe Island in south-central Chile and east to slightly beyond the Argentine border in the mountains.
This genus often has been placed in the family Didelphidae, but available evidence now indicates that it is distinct from that group and is more appropriately referred to the Microbiotheriidae, an otherwise extinct family of New World marsupials (Kirsch and Calaby 1977).

 Monito del Monte
This small, rare, opossum-like relict, Dromiciops gliroides, known as "Monito del Monte," inhabits remaining patches of old-growth forest in southern Chile, including the Isla Grande de Chiloé, and an adjacent area of Argentina.
Southern South America and its temperate rainforest have been shaped by the geological uplift of the Andean Cordillera in the Oligocene.
gliroides is focusing on the response of the geographic range of the species to late Pleistocene glacial cycles.

Research Miconia MICROBIOTHERIA Microbiotheria is a family of Metatheria containing one family, Microbiotheriidae, with the species monito del monte (Dromiciops australis) found in the Andes of Chile and Argentina.
The Monito del Monte is the only member of its family (Microbiotheriidae) and the only surviving member of an ancient order, the Microbiotheria, which is known from Oligocene and Miocene times in South America.

The fauna of the ecoregion is similarly unique, and includes species such as the pudú (Pudu pudu), the world’s smallest deer; the monito del monte (Dromiciops gliroides), an ancient marsupial; the huillín (Lontra provocax) or river otter; the Darwin´s fox (Pseudolopex fulvipes); and the Darwin’s frog (Rhinoderma darwini) among many others.
The Valdivian Ecoregion is a narrow band of forest that runs along the western shore of the continent, separated for millions of years from other forests by the Pacific Ocean, the Andes mountain range, the Patagonian Steppe, and the Atacama Desert.
Other threatened species include almost all native freshwater fish, whose historical populations have dropped drastically, and the marsupial monito del monte (Dromiciops gliroides).
