Galadi speciousus (Travouillon et al 2010, Travouillion et al 2013, Oligocene-Miocene) was originally considered a predatory bandicoot, but here it nests at the base of the Eomaia + Caluromys clade. Molar morphology indicates omnivory.

Caluromys derbianus (Waterhouse 1841; Allen 1904; Fonseca and Astúa 2018; Snout to vent length = 30cm, total length = 70cm.) is the living 'wooly opossum', native to Central America. Juvenile skulls have only two molars. Adults increase this number to four. Five incisors are present on this omnivore. Litter sizes range from one to six. The tail is prehensile on this nocturnal marsupial. Five manual claws are present. Two pedal claws are present.

Tetraclaenodon puercensis(Cope 1881, Scott 1892; Paleocene) was originally considered a member of the Phenacodontidae. Kondroshev and Lucas wrote, "The ungual phalanx is intermediate in morphology between a claw-like and a hoof-like phalanx". Here Tetraclaenodon nests as a late survivor of an earlier radiation basal to a long line of marsupials like Caluromys.
