Newly discovered / described species 2020

They have just split the Greater Glider in three. That article was messed up - e.g. the two "new" species weren't discovered "outside the known habitat", they were always known, they have simply been split.

There's a better article here: Greater glider species triple

I haven't been accepting this split because it has so far been unsupported. I'll need to find the paper and see what it says.

Edit: paper is here - Genetic evidence supports three previously described species of greater glider, Petauroides volans , P. minor , and P. armillatus | Scientific Reports
