Author: | Thomas, 1886. | Actual Date: | 1887 | Citation: | Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1886: 544. | Type Species: | Kangurus fasciatus Peron and Lesueur, 1807. | Comments: | McKenna and Bell (1997) placed this in Macropodinae, but it was convincingly argued to be a member of subfamily Sthenurinae by Flannery (1983). The other Sthenurinae are giant fossil kangaroos. |
