Pseudantechinus Tate 1947

Description

Pseudantechinus Tate 1947

Pseudantechinus Tate 1947, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 88: 139.

Type Species: Phascogale macdonnellensis Spencer 1896

Species and subspecies: 6 species:

Species Pseudantechinus bilarni Johnson 1954

Species Pseudantechinus macdonnellensis (Spencer 1896)

Species Pseudantechinus mimulus (Thomas 1906)

Species Pseudantechinus ningbing Kitchener 1988

Species Pseudantechinus roryi Cooper, Aplin and Adams 2000

Species Pseudantechinus woolleyae Kitchener and Caputi 1988

Discussion: Separated from Antechinus by Archer (1982:434), but retained in it by McKenna and Bell (1997). According to molecular evidence, it is not even closely related to Antechinus, but forms a distinctive genus of the Dasyurini (Krajewski et al., 1997 a).
