Discussion: Not distinguished from Phalanger by McKenna and Bell (1997), but when Flannery et al. (1987) resurrected this genus for S. celebensis , and provisionally for S. gymnotis , they gave evidence that it is sister-group to Trichosurus . Norris (1994) retained gymnotis in Phalanger and thus showed that it belongs in Phalangerini .
