FAMILY Pseudocheiridae

Author:Winge, 1893.
Citation:Med. Udsigt over Pungdyrenes Slaegtskab. E. Mus. Lundii, 11(2): 89.
Comments:Separated from Petauridae by Archer (1984); not recognized as a family by McKenna and Bell (1997), though retained by molecular workers (Kirsch et al., 1997), but Osborne and Christidis (2001) again questioned the separation. McKenna and Bell (1997) retained an old scheme whereby Hemibelideus, Pseudochirops, Pseudochirulus and Petropseudes are included in Pseudocheirus, and recognized only one other genus (Schoinobates [sic], which correctly should be Petauroides); but Kirsch et al. (1997) showed that this does not reflect the true pattern of relationships, and is greatly over-lumped.
