Hypsiprymnodon is a genus of macropods. The sole extant species is Hypsiprymnodon moschatus, the musky rat-kangaroo. The genus includes four known fossil species.
The generic name combines the Ancient Greek Template:Wikt-lang (Script error: No such module "lang"., 'high'), Template:Wikt-lang (Template:Grc-transl, 'hindmost'), and Template:Wikt-lang (Template:Grc-transl, 'tooth').[1] This name was derived from the genus Hypsiprymnus, a synonym for Potorous, and distinguishes this by combining the Ancient Greek Template:Grc-transl, meaning 'tooth'.[2]
