The masked ringtail possum (Pseudochirulus larvatus) is a marsupial possum of the family Pseudocheiridae. It is found in northeastern New Guinea in the Star Mountains. the eastern Central Cordillera, the Huon Peninsula and the northern coast ranges.[1][3] Masked ringtails are arboreal residents of various forest ecosystems. They are sexually dimorphic and locally common.[1] This species is sometimes classified as a subpopulation of P. forbesi;[1][3] however, it has a separate range.
