Treatment

Parantechinus Tate 1947 , Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 88: 137.

Type Species: Phascogale apicalis Gray 1842

Species and subspecies: 1 species:

Species Parantechinus apicalis ( Gray 1842)

Discussion: Formerly included in Antechinus , and this allocation was continued by McKenna and Bell (1997), but Archer (1982) and Krajewski et al. (2000) showed that they are not sister-groups. Kitchener and Caputi (1988) restricted this genus to P. apicalis , which according to Krajewski et al. (1997 a) is closely related to Dasykaluta .
