Cryptonanus is a genus of opossums from South America. It includes five species found from Bolivia to Uruguay and eastern Brazil, one of which is now extinct. Although the first species were discovered in 1931, the genus was not recognized as distinct from Gracilinanus until 2005. It includes small opossums with generally grayish, sometimes reddish, fur that are mainly distinguished from other opossums by characters of the skull.
Species of Cryptonanus were first described in 1931 by George Henry Hamilton Tate, who described Marmosa microtarsus guahybae (now Cryptonanus guahybae)...
