New Guinean long-nosed bandicoot
The New Guinean long-nosed bandicoots are members of the order Peramelemorphia. They are small to medium-sized marsupial omnivores native to New Guinea.
Two fossil taxa from Australia, Peroryctes tedfordi and then-unnamed Silvicultor hamiltonensis, were originally assigned to this genus, but they were subsequently transferred to the separate genus Silvicultor.
