The white-bellied woolly mouse opossum (Marmosa constantiae) is a small pouchless marsupial of the family Didelphidae.[2] It was formerly assigned to the genus Micoureus, which was made a subgenus of Marmosa in 2009.[3] The specific epithet was given in honour of Constance Sladen (née Anderson), wife of the naturalist Percy Sladen. She funded the 1902 expedition which collected the type specimen.[4]
