Perikoala is an extinct genus of marsupials, related to the modern koala. The genus diverged from a common ancestor of the other koala genera Nimiokoala, Litokoala, and Phascolarctos, which contains the living koala.[1]
Two species are recognised:
- Perikoala palankarinnica Stirton 1957[2]
- Perikoala robustus Woodburne et al. 1987[3][4]
