Silvaroo bandharr |
Silvaroo is an genus of megafaunal macropods that existed in Australia in the Pleistocene. Based on fossil evidence and affinities with the extant forest wallabies from the genera Dorcopsis and Dorcopsulus from Papua New Guinea, the two species of this genera were removed from the genus Protemnodon to Silvaroo.[1]
