SPECIES Antechinus flavipes
Author: | Waterhouse, 1837. | Actual Date: | 1838 | Citation: | Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1837: 75. | Common Name: | Yellow-footed Antechinus | Type Locality: | Australia, New South Wales, north of Hunter River. | Distribution: | Cape York Peninsula (Queensland); Victoria and SE South Australia; SW Western Australia. In SE Australia, bioclimatic modeling predicts its range as (somewhat discontinuously) from about 23°N to S Victoria, and west to about 136°E on the South Australian coast. Inland, it may reach as far as about 145°E in S New South Wales (Sumner and Dickman, 1998). | Status: | Lower Risk (lc). | Comments: | No direct comparisons between Western Australian and eastern forms of the species have been made. The Cape York Peninsula form appears to be only subspecifically distinct. |
