Australidelphia

L-Australidelphia huwa superordni ta' mammiferi marsupjali. Dan qiegħed ikklassifikat fil-klassi Mammalia, fis-sottoklassi Theria u fl-infraklassi Metatheria. L-Australidelphia jiġbor fiħ 5 ordnijiet, il-Microbiotheria, id-Dasyuromorphia, il-Peramelemorphia, in-Notoryctemorphia, u d-Diprotodontia). Dan is-superordni flimkien ma' l-Ameridelphia jiffurmaw l-infraklassi Metatheria (il-marsupjali kollha).

Firxa tas-superordni Australidelphia

L-Australidelphia jinkludi fiħ il-marsupjali kollha tal-kontinent Awstraljan u l-marsupjal kolokolo jew monito del monte Dromiciops gliroides, li għalkemm huwa mifrux mal-kontinent ta' l-Amerika ta' isfel jifforma parti mis-superordni Australidelphia.
