A genus of small carnivorous marsupials found in Southeast Asia and Australia, also known as spotted-tailed quolls or tiger quolls.
From New Latin scientific nomenclature; 'geneura' is a modern taxonomic name created for classification purposes in the 18th-19th centuries when naturalists were cataloging Australian wildlife.
Scientists literally had to invent names for entire animal groups they'd never seen before—geneura represents European scientists meeting the exotic wildlife of Australia for the first time and realizing they needed new words!
