The epididymides of eight South American Didelphis azarae were examined gross anatomically after in situ preservation with formalin. The shape and division into head, body and tail correspond to those of domestic mammals. The attachment of the vascular portion of the spermatic cord to the middle of the body of the epididymis is similar to conditions in other marsupials. The runica vaginalis parietalis is pigmented as found in other species of didelphis.
