The Speckled Dasyure (Neophascogale lorentzi), also known as the Long-clawed Marsupial Mouse, is a member of the Dasyuromorphia order. It is an inhabitant of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
Its weight varies between 200 and 250 g; its body length ranges 16–23 cm, and the tail 16-23 cm. As its name suggested, its dark gray fur is speckled with long white hairs. It has short, powerful limbs with long claws on all toes, used to dig for grubs, worms, and similar preys.
