Wyulda is a genus of phalanger, a member of the possum family Phalangeridae, which also includes the cuscuses and the brushtail possums. The scaly-tailed possum, Wyulda squamicaudata, is its only living species. A single extinct species, Wyulda asherjoeli, is also known, and it comes from the Miocene. The genus therefore holds just two known species, one alive today and one known only from the fossil record.
