Aust. Mus. 18(6): 287. ( 20 April 1932 ). Common name . Plains Mouse. Current name . Pseudomys australis J. Gray, 1832 ; following Jackson & Groves (2015). Holotype . M.5192, by original designation. Young adult male, skull, study skin, collected via L. von Reon Reese, received in exchange from Mr Erhard F. Boehm, registered 6 October 1931 . Collection date not indicated. Condition . Cranium has braincase broken in pieces, missing both zygomatic arches; right dentary is missing ascending ramus; left dentary complete. Study skin: complete and in good condition. Type locality . “Minnie Downs Station, in the extreme northeast of South Australia ” Troughton (1932c) . Parker et al. (1979: 49) state that the defunct Minnie Downs homestead was located at Appamunna Waterhole (= Appamurna, = Apperamanna), for which they cite co-ordinates of 26°18'S 139°38'E , on the west side of Lake Etamunbanea; they also note that the station was temporarily relocated c. 90 km to the SE. Given that the specimens were “dug out of burrows by aborigines” ( Troughton, 1932c ), the precise collecting locality is not known. Paratype . M.5193 by subsequent determination. Male, body in alc., locality and registration details as per holotype . Comments . Troughton refers to an adult female allotype in the private collection of Mr Boehm (presumably Erhart F. Boehm), but does not indicate the total number of specimens in the type series. M.5193 is marked as a paratype in the M Register in Troughton’s hand. The holotype registration number is erroneously given as M. 5195 in the original account, as noted by Mahoney & Richardson (1988) and the register entry for the holotype is unambiguous.
