The genus ''Cercartetus'' is a group of very small possums known as pygmy possums. Four species comprise this genus, which together with the genus ''Burramys'' make up the marsupial family Burramyidae. It has occasionally been presumed that ''Cercaërtus'' was a misspelling or synonym of ''Cercartetus''. However, the name ''Cercaërtus'' is a junior synonym of ''Trichosurus'' and not of ''Cercartetus''. Conservation International (CI) and the Indonesia Institute of Science (LIPI) reported on the possible discovery of a new species of ''Cercartetus'' pygmy possum upon visit to the Foja Mountains in June 2007.〔( Afp.google.com, Two new mammals found in Indonesian 'lost world': green group )〕 ==Species== *Genus ''Cercartetus'' * *Long-tailed pygmy possum, ''Cercartetus caudatus'' * *Southwestern pygmy possum, ''Cercartetus concinnus'' * *Tasmanian pygmy possum, ''Cercartetus lepidus'' * *Eastern pygmy possum, ''Cercartetus nanus'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cercartetus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
