Antechinus agilis Dickman, Parnaby, Crowther and King 1998 View in CoL

Antechinus agilis Dickman, Parnaby, Crowther and King 1998 View in CoL , Aust. J. Zool., 46: 5.

Type Locality: Australia, Australian Capital Territory, Brindabella Range, on the south side of Warks Road and Blundells Creek Road, near Lees Creek (35°21’45"S, 148°50’17"E), 740 m. GoogleMaps

Vernacular Names: Agile Antechinus.

Distribution: Australia: Victoria (SW, and C, E and NE districts), and SE New South Wales north on the coast to Kioloa (35°32'S, 150°23'E), and inland north to Mt. Canobolas (33°10'S, 149°00'E).

Conservation: Common.

Discussion: Dickman et al. (1988) first showed that A. stuartii in E New South Wales is actually divided into two quite distinct species: A. stuartii north of about 35°S, and an undescribed species mainly south of this latitude. The new species was not described for another ten years ( Dickman et al., 1998). The two species are sympatric at Kioloa, New South Wales, and other places.
