Treatment

Sminthopsis virginiae (Tarragon, 1847) . Rev. Zool. Paris, p. 177.

TYPE LOCALITY: Australia, Queensland, Herbert Vale .

DISTRIBUTION: N. Queensland, N. Northern Territory, Australia; Aru Isis., Indonesia; S. New Guinea.

COMMENT: Includes nitela, rufigenis , lumholtzi , and rona; see Archer, 1979, Aust. Zool., 20(2): 329; 1981: 132. In reference to rufigenis , see also Kirsch and Calaby, 1977, in Stonehouse and Gilmore, p. 15. According to ACZ, De Tarragon's 1847 description of S. virginiae did not specify a type locality; Collett, 1887, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1886:548, apparently named a different S. virginiae in 1887 from Herbert Vale and it was subsequently renamed S. lumholtzi ; see Archer, 1981: 136.

ISIS NUMBER: 5301402002014009001 as S. nitela.

5301402002014011001 as S. rufigenis .
