Subspecies::

Subspecies Lasiorhinus krefftii subsp. krefftii Owen 1873

Subspecies Lasiorhinus krefftii subsp. gillespiei DeVis 1900

Subspecies Lasiorhinus krefftii subsp. barnardi Longman 1939

Distribution: Australia: SE and E Queensland, Deniliquin (New South Wales).

Conservation: CITES – Appendix I; U.S. ESA Endangered; IUCN – Critically Endangered.

Discussion: Includes gillespiei and barnardi according to Kirsch and Calaby (1977:23), who stated that only a single remnant population of krefftii remained at the type locality of barnardi. However, populations historically known as barnardi may not be referable to krefftii.
