| Planigale gilesi Aitken, 1972 |
The Paucident Planigale (Planigale gilesi), also known as Giles' Planigale, is a very small species of carnivorous marsupial of the family Dasyuridae. It is found in arid inland areas from Lake Eyre, South Australia, to Moree, New South Wales, and from Mildura, Victoria, to the southwestern Northern Territory.[3]
The Paucident Planigale differs from other planigales in its plain grey colouring and its two premolars in each tooth row (all other planigales have three).[3]
