Remove ads
Dwarf cuscus (Strigocuscus) is a nocturnal, arboreal marsupial genus in the family Phalangeridae found only in Sulawesi (the largest island in Wallacea) and some of its surrounding small offshore islands.[1] Due to the unique biogeography of Sulawesi giving sub-regions of endemism, it is likely that there are several different species or subspecies as yet to be described by science.[2] So far, the genus contains the following species:
- Sulawesi dwarf cuscus (Strigocuscus celebensis)
- Banggai cuscus (Strigocuscus pelengensis)
