Type Locality: Australia, New South Wales, Hunter River.

Vernacular Names: Short-eared Possum.

Distribution: Australia: C Queensland (near Gladstone) south to C New South Wales, and possibly to the Victorian border (Lindenmayer et al., 2002).

Discussion: What were previously thought to be populations of this species in Victoria have been shown to be a separate species, T. cunninghami ( Lindemayer et al., 2002) . The species and T. cunninghami are together sometimes known as Bobuck; Lindemayer et al. (2002) suggested new vernacular names to distinguish them.
