Perameles bowensis Murihead, Dawson, and Archer, 1997

Material.— QM F30580 (left M1) and QM F30581 (left dentary), both from “Wilkinson’s Quarry”, Chinchilla Rifle Range, Australia, Pliocene.

Remarks.— Mackness et al. (2000b) described the only known bandicoot from Chinchilla as Perameles bowensis , and referred two specimens to the species, QM F30580 and QM F30581. QM F30580 could not be located, and QM F30581 is a specimen of a snake, Liasis . Both registration numbers have also inadvertently been assigned to two fossil bat specimens, Icarops sp. cf. I. paradox and I. paradox , respectively, from Miocene deposits of Riversleigh ( Hand et al. 2005). An erratum is currently being prepared by Sue Hand personal communication 2015) to correct the registration discrepancy.

Stratigraphic and geographic range.— Pliocene; eastern Australia.
