| Author: | Tate, 1947. | | Citation: | Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 88: 137. | | Type Species: | Phascogale apicalis Gray, 1842. | | Comments: | Formerly included in Antechinus, and this allocation was continued by McKenna and Bell (1997), but Archer (1982) and Krajewski et al. (2000) showed that they are not sister-groups. Kitchener and Caputi (1988) restricted this genus to P. apicalis, which according to Krajewski et al. (1997a) is closely related to Dasykaluta. |
