discussion
Discussion: Treated as a distinct species by Fox and Briscoe (1980) and Mahoney and Richardson (1988: 179), but earlier judged by Mahoney to be a synonym of P. delicatulus (Kitchener, 1985: 218), where it was placed by Watts and Aslin (1981) and Braithwaite and Covacevich (1995). Recently patrius was returned to the status of a species (Van Dyck, 1997), an action reinforced by Breed’s (2000) study of sperm head morphology: " P. patrius ... has a sperm head morphology that differs markedly in its structural organisation from the spermatozoon of all P. delicatulus so far examined. ".
Order Rodentia - Family Muridae
