SPECIES Pseudomys johnsoni
| Author: | Kitchener, 1985. | | Citation: | Rec. West. Aust. Mus., 12: 208. | | Common Name: | Central Pebble-mound Pseudomys | | Type Locality: | Australia, C Northern Territory, Kurundi Station, Kurinelli Mine, 150 m (Kitchener, 1985, provided additional information); also Queensland west of the Great Dividing Range, from near Cloncurrys to Camooweal (Van Dyck, 1997, as potentially undescribed species). | | Distribution: | Australia; originally reported from small area in arid C Northern Territory (Kerle, 1995b:608; Kitchener, 1985:216). Recent discovery of P. johnsoni in Queensland highlights lack of detailed survey data for many parts of northern Australia. | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (nt). | | Comments: | Closest phylogenetic relative is apparently P. chapmani, which occurs in NW Western Australia (Kitchener, 1985). |
