Discussion: For the exclusion of Parantechinus and Pseudantechinus see Haltenorth (1958:18) and Ride (1964 a); and of Dasykaluta see Archer (1982:434). Formerly included habbema, melanura, naso, and wilhelmina, which were transferred to Murexia by Armstrong et al. (1998), and have been transferred to a series of new genera ( Micromurexia, Murexechinus, and Phascomurexia) by Van Dyck (2002).
