Pogonomys Fergussoniensis
The D'Entrecasteaux Archipelago pogonomys (''Pogonomys fergussoniensis''), also known as the D'Entrecasteaux Archipelago tree mouse, is a species of prehensile-tailed rat from the family Muridae that is endemic to Papua New Guinea. It was once considered to be a subspecies of the Large Tree Mouse. Deforestation is posing a threat to the species, but it has been suspected that the species has some degree of tolerance towards disturbance of its habitat. Taxonomy The D'Entrecasteaux Archipelago pogonomys is often confused to be a subspecies of the large tree mouse (''P. lorie''), of which it shares a genus. the D'Entrecasteaux Archipelago pogonomys was referred to as a separate species of pogonomys in Laurie and Hill's (1954) checklist, but was referred to as a subspecies of the Large Tree Mouse by Dennis and Menzies (1979), Flannery (1990b), Flannery (1995a), and Musser and Carleton (1993). Flannery (1995b) noted that "''fergussoniensis'' is very distinctive, being very large and ...
