Metatheria hija infraklassi ta' mammiferi (il-marsupjali), fil-klassi Mammalia, fis-sottoklassi Theria, b' 2 superordnijiet Australidelphia u Ameridelphia, b' 7 ordnijiet (Didelphimorphia, Paucituberculata, Microbiotheria, Dasyuromorphia, Peramelemorphia, Notoryctemorphia, u Diprotodontia). Din l-infraklassi flimkien ma' l-Eutheria jiffurmaw is-sottoklassi Theria.
Il-Metatheria tinkludi fiha l-ispeċi marsupjali kollha eżistenti.
