One specimen of this species embarked alive on Le Naturaliste but have died during the voyage ( Jangoux et al. 2010: 268, 271). One was mounted on 14 September 1804 and two on 23 May 1804 (Journal du laboratoire de Zoologie de Vendémiaire an XII à Mars 1806 et de Janvier 1821 à Décembre 1822, par Dufresne).

ILLUSTRATIONS. — Illustrated by Charles-Alexandre Lesueur – Muséum d’Histoire naturelle du Havre, Inv. no. 80031 and 80032 ( Figs 70 View FIG , 71 View FIG ; living animal) ( Baglione & Crémière 2009: 171; Fornasiero et al. 2016: 125), and Inv. no. 80265 ( Fig. 72 View FIG ; skeleton) ( Baglione & Crémière 2009: 351). The lack of fur in the animal depicted in Figure 70 View FIG may suggest this animal was recorded on mainland Australia rather than King Island or Tasmania.
