Woolley's three-striped dasyure (Myoictis leucura) is a member of the order Dasyuromorphia. This marsupial carnivore lives in Papua New Guinea.
This species inhabits primary montane forest. Like its congeners, it appears to be diurnal and largely terrestrial.[2] Peter Dwyer has noted seeing this species active during daylight hours.[2]
