The blue-eyed cuscus, Phalanger matabiru, is a marsupial in the family Phalangeridae. It is endemic to the two small islands of Ternate and Tidore, which lie west of the island of Halmahera in North Maluku province, Indonesia. Its very small range, confined to two volcanic islands, makes it one of the more geographically restricted members of the cuscus genus Phalanger, whose species are otherwise spread across New Guinea and the Maluku Islands. The article on the species is short and gives no figures for its size, diet, habitat or conservation status.
