Lemdubuoryctes aruensis <\/em><\/h1>\n

Described in 2016 by Kear, Aplin and Westerman, this small, primitive bandicoot species is known from a small number of fossils from a single locality on an island in eastern Indonesia. Its ecology is unknown.<\/p>\n

Despite living relatively recently (28\u20139\u2009ka), L. aruensis<\/em> appears closest related to stem peramelemorphians. This means that the species evolved from a group of bandicoots distantly related to modern bandicoots and bilbies, of which L. aruensis<\/em> seems to be the only member known to science. Unknown lineages such as this are called ‘ghost lineages’.<\/p>\n
