COMMENTS: D. muelleri was regarded as a junior synonym of D. veterum by Kirsch and Calaby (1977:21) and Husson (1955:299). George and Schuerer (1978) rejected veterum as based on a Dendrolagus (probably inustus ), and employed muelleri ; Groves and Flannery (1989) agreed. The original name Didelphis brunii Quoy and Gaimard , was preoccupied and is now Macropus muelleri .
