The short-furred dasyure (Murexia longicaudata), also known as the short-haired marsupial mouse, is a member of the order Dasyuromorphia. It was once recognised as the only species in the genus Murexia,[1] but now five species are recognised.[3][4] It lives in Papua, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
Conservation status
[edit | edit source]Its population is considered stable, so the species is listed as "Least Concern" by the IUCN.[2]
Systematics
[edit | edit source]The short-furred dasyure used to form the genus Murexia together with the broad-striped dasyure. In 2005, Colin Groves divided the genus Murexia into two monotypic genera, Murexia for the short-furred dasyure and Paramurexia for the broad-striped dasyure, based on cladistic analyses.[1]
