SPECIES Pseudochirulus larvatus
Author: | Förster and Rothschild, 1911. | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, 7: 337. | Common Name: | Masked Ringtail | Type Locality: | Papua New Guinea, Huon Peninsula, Rawlinson Mtns. | Distribution: | NE New Guinea (Huon Peninsula and eastern part of Central Cordillera). | Status: | Common. | Comments: | Diagnostically distinct from SE forbesi, and separated by a sharp boundary between Wau and the Kratke Mtns (Flannery, 1994a; Musser and Sommer, 1992), which strongly suggests that larvatus is specifically distinct. |
