Vernacular Names: Tropical Antechinus.

Distribution: Australia: Dense tropical vine forests from Paluma (19°00’S, 146°12’E) to Mt. Spurgeon (16°25' S, 145°12'E).

Discussion: Van Dyck (1982) stated that what was then known as Antechinus stuartii adustus is probably a valid species. Van Dyck and Crowther (2000) definitively raised it to species rank.
