| Planigale tenuirostris Troughton, 1928 |
The Narrow-nosed Planigale (Planigale tenuirostris) is a species of very small marsupial carnivore of the family Dasyuridae. It is found in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Northern Territory in a wide range of inland habitats.[3]
The Narrow-nosed Planigale differs from other planigales in its more rufous colouring and smaller size - only the Long-tailed Planigale is smaller. It is an active hunter of various invertebrates.[3]
