Hypsiprymnodon

Hypsiprymnodon is a genus of macropods.

The sole extant species is Hypsiprymnodon moschatus, the musky rat-kangaroo.

The genus includes four known fossil species.

The generic name combines the Ancient Greek ὕψος (hyps-, 'high'), πρυμνός (prumnós, 'hindmost'), and ὀδών (odṓn, 'tooth').

[1] This name was derived from the genus Hypsiprymnus, a synonym for Potorous, and distinguishes this by combining the Ancient Greek odoús, meaning 'tooth'.
