Tarsipes rostratus Gervais and Verreaux 1842
Tarsipes rostratus Gervais and Verreaux 1842 , L'Institut, l'ere Section, Sci., Math, Phys., Nat., 427: 75.
Type Locality: Australia, Western Australia, King George Sound (Albany), see Gray (1842).
Vernacular Names: Honey possum.
Synonyms: Tarsipes spencerae Ride 1970 ; Tarsipes spenserae Gray 1842 .
Distribution: SW Western Australia.
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). Rare.
Discussion: The name T. spenserae is considered a misspelling because it was presented as a patronym for Spencer ( Gray, 1842:40). Ride (1970) emended the name to spencerae ; see Mahoney (1981) for details. Mahoney (1981) presented evidence that Tarsipes rostratus Gervais and Verreaux, 1842 predates T. spenserae Gray, 1842 .
