''This page is a list of species of the infraclass Marsupialia discovered in the 2000s. See also parent page Mammals discovered in the 2000s.'' *Arfak pygmy bandicoot ''Microperoryctes aplini'' (2004) *Mountain brushtail possum ''Trichosurus caninus'' (2002) In 2002 it was discovered that the mountain brush-tailed possum (''Trichosurus caninus'') of Australia actually consists of two separate species. Confusingly, due to taxonomic rules, the northern population has been dubbed the short-eared possum, but will keep the scientific name ''T. caninus'', while the creature now known as the mountain brush-tailed possum is named ''T. cunninghami''. This is because the original type specimen of the species was actually of the northern population, and therefore must keep the original name.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=ScienceDaily )〕 *Red-bellied gracile opossum ''Cryptonanus ignitus'' (2002) ==References== 〔 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「Marsupials described in the 2000s」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
