The Honey Possum (Tarsipes rostratus), also known as the "Noolbenger", is the last member of the genus "Tarsipes" and family "Tarsipedidae". It is the only surviving member of a marsupial group that has been extinct for a very long time. There are some disagreements about how distinct the species is and if the classification should be changed to reflect that distinction. The following is a list of the scientific classifications:

  • Kingdom: Animalia
  • Phylum: Chordata
  • Class: Mammalia
  • Infraclass: Marsupialia
  • Order: Diprotodontia
  • Family: Tarsipedidae
  • Genus: Tarsipes
  • Species: Tarsipes rostratus
