Micromurexia habbema (Tate and Archbold 1941) View in CoL

[Antechinus] habbema Tate and Archbold 1941 , Am. Mus. Novit., 1101: 8.

Type Locality: Indonesia, Prov. of Papua (= Irian Jaya), 9 km N of Lake Habbema, north slope of Mt. Wilhelmina , 2800 m.

Vernacular Names: Habbema Dasyure.

Synonyms: Micromurexia hageni ( Laurie 1952) .

Distribution: Central Cordillera of New Guinea, 4°05’- 8°03’S, 138°50’- 146°53’E, at 1600-3660 m ( Van Dyck, 2002).

Conservation: IUCN – Data Deficient at Antechinus habbema .

Discussion: Formerly considered a synonym of Antechinus naso (here reallocated as Phascomurexia naso ), but shown to be distinct by Woolley (1989) and Flannery (1995 a); it is actually the most distinct species of the Murexia clade according to Krajewski et al. (1996) and was referred to a new genus by Van Dyck (2002).
