The little mulgara (Dasycercus marlowi) is a newly described species of mulgara.[1] The species is named posthumously after Basil Marlow the Australian mammalogist and former curator of mammals at the Australian Museum.[1]

As the name suggests, the little mulgara is the smallest of the mulgaras. The total length of the holotype, and only specimen, is 195 mm (7.7 in).[1]
