Pseudocheiridae Winge 1893 View in CoL

Pseudocheiridae Winge 1893 View in CoL , Med. Udsigt over Pungdyrenes Slaegtskab. E. Mus . Lundii, 11 (2): 89.

Genera: 6 genera with 17 species in 3 subfamilies:

Subfamily Hemibelideinae Kirsch, Lapointe and Springer 1997

Genus Hemibelideus Collett 1884 (1 species)

Genus Petauroides Thomas 1888 (1 species with 2 subspecies)

Subfamily Pseudocheirinae Winge 1893

Genus Petropseudes Thomas 1923 (1 species)

Genus Pseudocheirus Ogilby 1837 (1 species with 4 subspecies)

Genus Pseudochirulus Matschie 1915 (8 species with 7 subspecies)

Subfamily Pseudochiropsinae Kirsch, Lapointe and Springer 1997

Genus Pseudochirops Matschie 1915 (5 species with 6 subspecies)

Discussion: 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.
