Kolopsis is an extinct genus of diprotodontid marsupials from Australia. It contains three species:[1]
- †Kolopsis rotundus Plane 1967
- †Kolopsis torus Woodburne, 1967
- †Kolopsis yperus Murray, Megirian & Wells, 1993
K. rotundus may be more closely related to other zygomaturines than to Kolopsis.[2]
