Bulungu (mammal)
Bulungu is an extinct genus of bandicoot-like mammal from Oligo-Miocene deposits of Riversleigh, northwestern Queensland, and the Etadunna Formation, Australia. It was first named by Gurovich "et al." (2013) and the type species is Bulungu palara. Two additional species, Bulungu campbelli adnd Bulungu minkinaensis, were also described in 2013. "Bulungu muirheadae" is the oldest fossil bandicoot recovered to date. An additional three species Bulungu minkinaensis, Bulungu pinpaensis, and Bulungu westermani were named by Travouillon, Beck & Case (2021) allowing for placement of the genus in the superfamily Yaraloidea.
