Indodelphis

Indodelphis is an extinct genus of opossum-like metatherian from Eocene of Cambay Shale Formation of India.

This species probably represents the oldest known record of Cenozoic metatherians from Asia, and it occurs in association with a diverse land mammal fauna comprising perissodactyls, artiodactyls, insectivores, laurasiatherians, apatotherians, bats, rodents, and several other taxa currently under study.

[1] It was initially assigned to the Peradectidae,[1] but more likely belongs to the Herpetotheriidae.

It may possibly be a junior synonym of Asiadidelphis from the Paleogene of Pakistan and Kazakhstan, which is known only from upper molars.

[2] It is unknown whether Indodelphis descended from a metatherian that colonized Insular India from Asia, or if it was a relict of India's original Gondwanan mammalian fauna.
