Aust. Mus. 21(6): 373. ( 25 June 1945 ). Common name . Biak Glider. Current name . Petaurus biacensis Ulmer, 1940 ; following Groves (2005d) . Taxonomic status unclear. Although kohlsi is considered a junior synonym of P. biacensis by most authors, the status of the latter species and populations currently assigned to P. breviceps , require a detailed taxonomic revision ( Helgen, 2007 ; Jackson, 2015). Holotype . M.6998 by original designation. Female adult, [Field no. Owi Is. No. 11], skull, study skin, collected by Lt.-Col. C. B. Philip and Major G. M. Kohls, collection date not given, registered 26 September 1944 . Condition . Cranium missing section of right zygomatic arch, left zygomatic arch detached, missing upper 2nd post-canine teeth. Both dentaries complete. Study skin complete. Type locality . Owi Island, Schouten Island Group, Cenderawasih (formerly Geelvink) Bay, Papua Province , Indonesia . Comments . Apparently based on a single specimen. The holotype is a female with a developed pouch, although Troughton variously refers to the holotype as male and female in his original description. Photographs of the holotype skull are given by Flannery (1995c) .
