Treatment

Pseudomys fumeus Brazenor, 1934 View in CoL . Mem. Nat. Mus. Melb., 8:158.

TYPE LOCALITY: Australia, Victoria, Turton's Pass, Otway Forest .

DISTRIBUTION: Australia, Victoria (see map in Watts and Aslin, 1981:202). Range during Late Pleistocene extended into E New South Wales ( Wakefield, 1972a).

STATUS: U.S. ESA - Endangered; IUCN - Rare.

COMMENTS: Electrophoretic data separated P. fumeus from other species of Pseudomys ( Baverstock et al., 1981) ; phallic morphology suggested a close tie between P. fumeus , P. albocinereus , and P. shortridgei , a group for which the generic name Gyomys is available ( Lidicker and Brylski, 1987:635); but spermatozoal structure tied P. fumeus with most other species of Pseudomys (Breed, 1983) .
