Taxonomy notes

the genus Petrogale was recently divided into four subgenera (Petrogale, Peradorcas, and the recently described Quasipetrogale and Ferepetrogale); however, this arrangement and the recently described subgenera was put forth R. T. Hoser, who's names are currently under scrutiny and should be tested by further studies before use
