What is "lasiorhinus"

Lasiorhinus is the genus containing the two hairy-nosed wombats, which are found in Australia. The species are:

• Northern hairy-nosed wombat, L. krefftii
• Southern hairy-nosed wombat, L. latifrons
• Lasiorhinus angustidens fossil

The southern hairy-nosed wombat is found in some of the semiarid to arid regions belt from New South Wales southwest to the South Australia-Western Australia border. The IUCN categorises it as Least Concern. Conversely, the northern hairy-nosed wombat is categorised as Critically Endangered and only survives in a 3-km range within the Epping Forest National Park in Queensland, but formerly also existed in Victoria and New South Wales.
