Hist., [ser. 1], 8:242 . TYPE LOCALITY: Australia , New South Wales , Manly (Spring Cove, Sydney Harbour); neotype from Waterfall, Royal National Park . DISTRIBUTION: E Queensland , E New South Wales , Victoria ( Australia ). STATUS: Common. SYNONYMS: adusta, burrelli, unicolor. COMMENTS: Van Dyck (1982) stated that Antechinus stuartii adustus , from the vine forest region between Paluma ( 19°00'S , 146° 12'E ) and Mt. Spurgeon ( 16°25' S , 145°12'E ), is probably a valid species. Dickman et al. (1988) showed that A. stuartii in E New South Wales is actually divided into two quite distinct species: A. stuartii north of about 35°S , and an undescribed species mainly south of this latitude (but recurring farther north and inland at Mt. Canobolas, 33°10'S , 149°00'E ; and the two have been found together at Kioloa, 35°32'S , 150°23'E ).
