Currently known from just eight specimens collected in the Peruvian departments of Junín and Ayacucho, P. nigratus does not appear to be closely related to either of the congeneric taxa with which it was previously synonymized.en-USPhilander (Mammals)--Classification.Marmosa.Phylogeny.Morphology.Opossums.Classification.A revision of Philander (Marsupialia: Didelphidae).
