Treatment

Pseudomys australis Gray, 1832 View in CoL . Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1832:39.

TYPE LOCALITY: Australia, New South Wales, SW side of Liverpool Plains .

DISTRIBUTION: Australia; New South Wales, S Queensland, South Australia, and S Northern Territory; Late Pleistocene to Recent remains from W Victoria ( Watts and Aslin, 1981); probably extinct in New South Wales ( Mahoney and Richardson, 1988:172).

SYNONYMS: auritus , flavescens , lineolatus , minnie , murinus , stirtoni .

COMMENTS: Microscopic structure of hooks on sperm head reported by Flaherty and Breed (1982). Phallic information suggested P. australis is related to P. gouldii , P. higginsi , and P. nanus , to the exclusion of other species of Pseudomys ( Lidicker and Brylski, 1987:635) ; electrophoretic data ( Baverstock et al., 1981) and spermatozoal morphology (Breed, 1983) are not discordant with this association.
