[[Seri's tree-kangaroo]] (''Dendrolagus stellarum'') has been described as a [[subspecies]] of [[Doria's tree-kangaroo]] (''D. dorianus stellarum''),<ref name=Flannery>{{cite book |author=Flannery, T. |title=Mammals of New Guinea |publisher=Reed Books |year=1995 |isbn=978-0-7301-0411-7 }}</ref><ref name=Walkers>{{cite book |editor=Nowak, R. |title=Walker's Mammals of the World |url=https://archive.org/details/walkersmammalsof0002nowa |url-access=registration |publisher=Johns Hopkins University Press |year=1999 |isbn=978-0-8018-5789-8 |edition=6th}}</ref> but some recent authorities have treated it as a separate species based on its absolute diagnostability{{explanation needed|date=March 2021}}.<ref name=MSW3>{{MSW3 Groves|pages=59–61}}</ref>

The Wondiwoi tree-kangaroo is among the 25 "most wanted lost" species that are the focus of Global Wildlife Conservation's "Search for Lost Species" initiative.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rewild.org/lost-species/wondiwoi-tree-kangaroo|title=The Search for Lost Species - Wondiwoi tree-kangaroo - Global Wildlife Conservation |website=Re:wild.org|access-date=2017-06-02}}</ref>

The extinct species ''[[Dendrolagus noibano|D. noibano]]'' from the [[Pleistocene]] of [[Chimbu Province]], Papua New Guinea is substantially larger than living species.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Flannery |first1=Tim F. |last2=Seri |first2=L. |date=1990-11-16 |title=Dendrolagus scottae n.sp.

The case for the [[golden-mantled tree-kangaroo]] (''D. pulcherrimus'') is comparable to that of ''D. stellarum''; it was first described as a subspecies of ''D. goodfellowi'',<ref name=Flannery/> though recent authorities have elevated it to species status based on its absolute diagnostability.<ref name=MSW3/> A population of the [[tenkile]] (Scott's tree-kangaroo) recently discovered from the [[Bewani Mountains]] may represent an undescribed subspecies.<ref name=Tenkile>[http://www.tenkile.com/tenkile_tree_kangaroo.html Tenkile Tree Kangaroo] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140225060902/http://www.tenkile.com/tenkile_tree_kangaroo.html |date=2014-02-25 }} Tenkile Conservation Alliance</ref>
