Pseudantechinus bilarni Johnson 1954

Pseudantechinus bilarni Johnson 1954, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 67: 77.

Type Locality: Australia, Northern Territory, Oenpelli (12°20'S, 133°3'E).

Vernacular Names: Sandstone Dibbler.

Distribution: Northern Territory (Australia), known from region of type locality.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). Rare.

Discussion: Included in Antechinus (= Pseudantechinus) macdonnellensis by Ride (1970:116), but see Kirsch and Calaby (1977:15). Archer (1982) placed it in Parantechinus . Kitchener and Caputi (1988) suggested that this species should be transferred to Pseudantechinus; Krajewski et al. (1997 a) agreed that it is not close to P. apicalis and placed it on a clade by itself. Cooper et al. (2000) definitively removed it from Parantechinus but admitted that its inclusion (and that of P. woolleyae) in Pseudantechinus might make the genus paraphyletic.
