Sminthopsinae

Sminthopsinae hija sottofamilja ta' mammiferi marsupjali. Din is-sottofamilja tiġbor fiha żewġ tribujiet, is-Sminthopsini u l-Planigalini, u bosta ġeneri u speċi kemm estinti kif ukoll estanti.

Fin-numru ta' ġeneri u speċi, is-sottofamilja Sminthopsinae hija l-iżgħar u għandha ħafna anqas diversità fil-morfoloġija, mis-sottofamilja l-oħra tal-familja Dasyuridae (għalkemm tiġbor fiha l-ġeneru Sminthopsis, l-aktar wieħed ta' suċċess fin-numru ta' speċi fl-ordni Dasyuromorphia).

Ġeneralment l-ispeċi tas-sottofamilja Sminthopsinae huma iżgħar fid-daqs minn dawk tas-sottofamilja Dasyurinae.
