Morphological character data are inadequate to resolve the evolutionary relationships of the didelphid genus Chacodelphys , which previous phylogenetic analyses have alternatively suggested might be the sister taxon of Lestodelphys and Thylamys (tribe Thylamyini) or of Monodelphis (tribe Marmosini) in the subfamily Didelphinae. Because fresh material of Chacodelphys is unavailable, we extracted DNA from microscopic fragments of soft tissue adhering to the 95-year-old holotype skull of C. formosa. Phylogenetic analyses of the resulting sequence data convincingly resolve Chacodelphys as the sister taxon of Cryptonanus , a genus with which it had not previously been thought to be closely related. This novel clade ( Chacodelphys + Cryptonanus ) belongs to an unnamed thylamyine lineage with Gracilinanus and Lestodelphys + Thylamys , but relationships among these taxa remain to be convincingly resolved. Los análisis basados en caracteres morfológicos han sido inadecuados para resolver las relaciones evolutivas del género marsupial didélfido Chacodelphys . Previos análisis filogenéticos han sugerido como hipótesis alternativas que Chacodelphys sea el grupo hermano de Lestodelphys y Thylamys (tribu Thylamyini) o de Monodelphis (tribu Marmosini), todos estos géneros pertenecientes a la subfamilia Didelphinae. Debido a la ausencia de material fresco de Chacodelphys , extrajimos ADN de fragmentos microscópicos de tejido adherido al cráneo de 95 años del holotipo de C. formosa . Análisis filogenéticos de las secuencias obtenidas resuelven convincentemente la posición filogenética de Chacodelphys como el taxón hermano de Cryptonanus , un género con el cual nunca antes se había pensado que estuviera cercanamente relacionado. Aunque reconocemos a este nuevo clado ( Chacodelphys + Cryptonanus ) junto con Gracilinanus y Lestodelphys + Thylamys pertenecientes a un linaje sin nombre, las relaciones entre estas taxa siguen sin estar convincentemente resueltas.
