Phalanger ornatus matabiru Flannery & Boeadi, 1995 View in CoL
Aust. Mammal. 18(1): 40, figs 2c, 3b; table 1. (21 December 1995).
Common name. Blue-eyed Cuscus .
Current name. Phalanger ornatus matabiru Flannery & Boeadi, 1995 . Groves (2005d) considered that the morphological differences warranted full species status; treated as a subspecies of P. ornatus ( Gray, 1860) by Helgen & Jackson (2015).
Holotype. M.23555 by original designation. Male adult, [Field no. FO236], skull ( Fig. 23 View Figure 23 ), study skin, collected by T. F. Flannery and Boeadi, on 9 January 1991; registered 10 April 1991.
Condition. Cranium and dentaries complete, skin retained on the palate. Study skin complete and in good condition.
Type locality. Original account states “Collected near Ayr (Creek) Tege Tege Village 0°50'N 127°20'E, elevation 400 m ”, Ternate Island , North Moluccas, North Maluku Province, Indonesia. GoogleMaps Although latitude 0°50'N is given in the original description, 0°48'N given in Tim Flannery’s field note book appears to be more applicable. The holotype was collected from an area called “Ayr Tege Tege”, upslope from Ternate and not from a village (Tim Flannery, pers. comm. October 2015).
Paratypes. (3, by original designation): M.23532, subadult male; M.23533, adult female and M.23534, adult male: all study skins and skulls, same locality and collection dates as holotype.
