Purple-necked Rock-wallabyとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Purple-necked Rock-wallaby (Petrogale purpureicollis) was first classified in 1924 by Albert Sherbourne Le Souef, then director of the Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia, who noted a strange purple colouration around the neck as well as skull differences separating it from other rock-wallaby species. The species has undergone taxonomic upheaval for decades and has variously been classified as a Unadorned Rock-wallaby, Brush-tailed Rock-wallaby, and Black-flanked Rock-wallaby. Le Souef and others have asserted that it was a new species, and this has been affirmed by a 2001 paper in the Australian Journal of Zoology.
