Louys, Julien & Price, Gilbert J., 2015, The Chinchilla Local Fauna: An exceptionally rich and well-preserved Pliocene vertebrate assemblage from fluviatile deposits of south-eastern Queensland, Australia, Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 60 (3), pp. 551-572 : 566-567

Macropus agilis siva ( de Vis, 1895)

Fig. 8C .

Material.—QM F4733 (right mandibular fragment) and QM F4735 (left mandibular fragment) from Chinchilla, Australia, Pliocene.

Remarks. — Bartholomai (1975) examined material from Chinchilla and attributed it to M. agilis siva , noting that the variation in the Chinchilla material was insufficient to warrant specific distinction.

Stratigraphic and geographic range.—Pliocene to Pleistocene; central, eastern and southeastern Australia.

Macropus dryas de Vis, 1895

Fig. 8G .

Material.— QM F3582 (lectotype, partial right maxilla) from Chinchilla , Australia, Pliocene .

Remarks.— Bartholomai (1966) selected this lectotype on the basis of material of probable Chinchilla provenance, and subsequently ( Bartholomai 1975) assigned several additional Chinchilla specimens to the species.

Stratigraphic and geographic range.—Pliocene; eastern Australia.

Macropus woodsi Bartholomai, 1975

Fig. 8O .

Material.— QM F3920 (holotype, partial right mandibular ramus) from Middle Gully of Chinchilla Rifle Range , Australia, Pliocene ; QM F5465 (partial left maxilla) from Chinchilla Rifle Range , Australia, Pliocene .

Remarks.— Bartholomai (1975) erected this species on the basis of Chinchilla material, and referred several Chinchilla specimens to the species.

Stratigraphic and geographic range.—Pliocene; eastern Australia.
