TYPE LOCALITY: Australia , New South Wales , SW side of Liverpool Plains . DISTRIBUTION: Australia ; New South Wales , S Queensland , South Australia , and S Northern Territory ; Late Pleistocene to Recent remains from W Victoria ( Watts and Aslin, 1981 ); probably extinct in New South Wales ( Mahoney and Richardson, 1988:172 ). SYNONYMS: auritus , flavescens , lineolatus , minnie , murinus , stirtoni . COMMENTS: Microscopic structure of hooks on sperm head reported by Flaherty and Breed (1982) . Phallic information suggested P. australis is related to P. gouldii , P. higginsi , and P. nanus , to the exclusion of other species of Pseudomys ( Lidicker and Brylski, 1987:635 ) ; electrophoretic data ( Baverstock et al., 1981 ) and spermatozoal morphology (Breed, 1983) are not discordant with this association.
