Treatment

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

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

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.
