-- The natural diet of four didelphids marsupial species was studied; Philander andersoni, P. opossum, Metachirus nudicaudatus and Didephis marsupialis in the rainforest surrounding of the Iquitos-Nauta road, Loreto, Peru, through stomach contents analysis, The data analysis included intraespecific relationships (age and sex), and interspecific relationships (climatic season and habitat) comparisons, through variance analysis, niche breadth and overlap indices. The insect consumption was higher in M. nudicaudatus, showing more than 60% of the total diet volume. The statistically significant differences were found at the intraspecific relationship level according to the age in the plant consumption in M. nudicaudatus, and interspecific relationships differences were found for P. opossum which eats Chilopoda and M. nudicaudatus eats Insecta with respect the other species studied here. Variation in climatic season and habitat were not found in the studied species. D. marsupialis presented the largest niche breadth (5.53) and M. nudicaudatus the lowest (2.1). Meanwhile, the highest niche overlap occurred between P. andersoni and M. nudicaudatus (0.99). The species showed some intraspecific and interspecific variations in food habits, and generally use the same available resources, feeding at a high percentage of the Insecta category, followed by plants and Vertebrata categories. The results show similarities with another studies developed in the Neotropic and constitute the first contribution to the natural history of those species in Peru.
