Dendrolagus dorianus profugus Troughton & Le Souef, 1936b View in CoL View at ENA

Rec. Aust. Mus. 19(6): 389. (7 October 1936).

Common name. Doria’s Tree-kangaroo.

Current name. Dendrolagus dorianus dorianus Ramsay, 1883 ; following Groves (2005d).

Holotype. Whereabouts not known and possibly no longer in existence. The holotype was a live zoo animal: a young adult female housed in Taronga Zoo, Sydney, received at Taronga Zoological Park in 1935 via Mr O. J. Atkinson. The original description states: “animal was from Denewa; alt. 3–4,000 feet, inland towards Mt Simpson from Boianai, which is near Radava, at the eastern end of Goodenough Bay, North-eastern Division of Papua. Specimen eventually to be lodged in the Australian Museum.”

Comments. It is possible that the animal did not reach the AM, as noted by Groves (1982), or if it did, perhaps it was never registered or registered and not marked as a type.
