Treatment

Tarsipes rostratus Gervais and Verreaux, 1842 View in CoL . L'Institut, Pere Section, Sci., Math, Phys., Nat., 427:75.

TYPE LOCALITY: Australia, Western Australia, King George Sound (Albany), see Gray (1842) .

DISTRIBUTION: SW Western Australia.

STATUS: Rare.

SYNONYMS: spencerae, spenserae .

COMMENTS: The name T. spenserae is considered a misspelling because it was presented as a patronym for Spencer ( Gray, 1842:40). Ride (1970) emended the name to spencerae; see Mahoney (1981) for details. Mahoney (1981) presented evidence that Tarsipes rostratus Gervais and Verreaux, 1842 predates T. spenserae Gray, 1842 .
