Andinodelphys is an extinct genus of non- marsupial stem metatherian. [1]
Along with Pucadelphys and Mayulestes, it is the oldest known South American metatherian. [2] It is known best from five almost complete skulls, and associated skeletons, all from Tiupampa in Bolivia. [1] It is most similar to Pucadelphys and a clade of Pucadelphydae containing the two genera has been suggested. It was likely a gregarious animal, and a finding of six articulated and intertmingled skeletons has been used as evidence of social behavior being present in basal metatherians. [3]
