discussion
Discussion: Electrophoretic data separated P. fumeus from other species of Pseudomys (Baverstock et al., 1981); phallic morphology suggested a close tie between P. fumeus, P. albocinereus, and P. shortridgei, a group for which the generic name Gyomys is available (Lidicker and Brylski, 1987: 635); but spermatozoal structure tied P. fumeus with most other species of Pseudomys (Breed, 1983). Reviewed by Watts and Aslin (1981) and Cockburn (1995 b).
Order Rodentia - Family Muridae
