), and inland north to Mt. Canobolas (

Discussion:
Dickman et al. (1988)
first 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. The new species was not described for another ten years (
Dickman et al., 1998
). The two species are sympatric at Kioloa,
New South Wales
, and other places.
