[Perameles] kalubu Fischer 1829 , Synopsis Mamm.: 274.

Type Locality: Indonesia, Prov. of Papua (= Irian Jaya), Sorong Div., Waigeo Isl.

Vernacular Names: Common Echymipera.

Subspecies: :

Subspecies Echymipera kalubu subsp. kalubu Fischer 1829

Subspecies Echymipera kalubu subsp. cockerelli Ramsay 1877

Subspecies Echymipera kalubu subsp. oriomo Tate and Archbold 1936

Discussion: The name kalubu has been attributed to Lesson, 1828, Dict. Class. Hist. Nat., 13:200; but see Husson (1955:290). According to Westerman et al. (2001), the molecular relationships of E. k. cockerelli (from New Britain and Duke of York Isl) are with E. rufescens rather than with other E. kalubu , but it is morphologically similar to kalubu .
