Distribution: Arid and semiarid tropical regions of Australia; Western Australia, South Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland, New South Wales, and possibly Victoria; also recorded from Bernier Isl, Western Australia ( Kerle, 1995 a:595; Mahoney and Richardson, 1988:174); Robinson et al. (2000) summarized the distribution in South Australia; Williams (1995 c) discussed the possible distribution in Victoria.

Discussion: Spermatozoal morphology similar to P. australis and many other species of Pseudomys (Breed, 1983) . Both names listed above are unused senior synonyms of desertor and should not be resurrected ( Mahoney and Richardson, 1988:174). Reviewed by Kerle (1995 a). Read et al. (1999) documented the distribution, ecology, and current status of P. desertor in South Australia.
