Petrogale concinna (Nabarlek)

Synonyms: Peradorcas concinna

Wikipedia Abstract

The nabarlek (Petrogale concinna), also known as the pygmy rock-wallaby or the little rock-wallaby, is a very small species of macropod found in northern Australia. It was formerly considered distinct enough to be assigned its own genus, Peradorcas, but it is now considered to belong, like the rest of the rock-wallabies, in the genus Petrogale. The nabarlek is most closely related to the monjon and to the short-eared rock-wallaby (Petrogale brachyotis). Three subspecies of the nabarlek have been recognised:
