''Pseudocheirus'' is a genus of ringtail possums (family Pseudocheiridae). It includes a single living species, the common ringtail possum (''Pseudocheirus peregrinus'') of Australia, as well as the fossil ''Pseudocheirus marshalli'' from the Pliocene of Victoria.〔Turnbull et al., 2003, p. 533; Groves, 2001, p. 51〕 Other species have previously been included in this genus. Most other ringtails—the lemur-like ringtail (''Hemibelideus lemuroides''), the rock-haunting ringtail (''Petropseudes dahli''), and the various species of ''Pseudochirulus'' and ''Pseudochirops''—were classified in ''Pseudocheirus'' until the 1980s or 1990s.〔Groves, 2001, pp. 50–53〕 A second ringtail from the Victorian Pliocene, ''Petauroides stirtoni'', was originally named as a ''Pseudocheirus'', but is now considered to be more closely related to the greater glider (''Petauroides volans'').〔Turnbull et al., 2003, p. 533〕 Taxonomic opinion favours treatment of the western population, ''Pseudocheirus peregrinus occidentalis'', as a separate species (''Pseudocheirus occidentalis''), though the contradictory evidence from current studies have prevented this recommendation being published. ==References==
