COMMENTS: Review of morphology and distribution, along with citations for synonyms, provided by Harrison and Bates (1991). Those authors also listed lixa as a synonym of G. dasyurus , but the holotype, a young animal, has an accessory tympanum and bare soled hind feet, which is uncharacteristic of G. dasyurus but does suggest alliance with G. nanus ( Lay, 1983) .
