Hypogeomys australis is an extinct rodent from central and southeastern Madagascar. First described in 1903, it is larger than its close relative, the living Hypogeomys antimena, which occurs further west, but otherwise similar. Average length of the femur (upper leg bone) is 72.1 mm, compared to 63.8 mm in H. antimena. One of the few extinct rodents of Madagascar, it survived to at least around 1536 BP based on radiocarbon dating. Little is known of its ecology, but it may have lived in burrows like its living relative and eaten some arid-adapted plants.

  • Hypogeomys australis és una espècie de rosegador extint del centre i sud-est de Madagascar. Fou descrit el 1903 i és més gros que el seu parent més proper, H. antimena, una espècie vivent que es troba més a l'oest de l'illa, però s'hi assembla força en altres aspectes. La llargada mitjana del fèmur és de 72,1 mm, comparat amb 63,8 mm en H. antimena. Es tracta d'un dels pocs rosegadors extints de Madagascar. La datació basada en el carboni-14 indica que sobrevisqué com a mínim fins a la darreria del segle v. No se sap gaire cosa sobre la seva història natural, però possiblement feia caus a terra, igual que el seu parent vivent, i s'alimentava de plantes adaptades a les condicions àrides. (ca)
