Conilurus capricornensis → Capricorn rabbit rat – Modern mammal, switch title from binomial to common name.

The Capricorn rabbit rat is part of the modern fauna of Australia. It is known only from subfossil remains but it is considered to have survived until European settlement. See the IUCN Red List for more information.

Since the Capricorn rabbit rat is a modern mammal, typically its Wikipedia article would be titled with the common name. This applies even in some unique cases. Like the Capricorn rabbit rat, the Nullarbor dwarf bettong is known only from subfossil remains but it is considered to have survived until European settlement. The article Nullarbor dwarf bettong is titled with the common name. Columbianmammoth (talk) 01:55, 9 January 2023 (UTC) The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it.

 * Support: per nom, why not? Seems to be widely used in academic texts. YorkshireExpat (talk) 20:27, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
