discussion

Discussion: Electrophoretic data (Baverstock et al., 1981) and spermatozoal morphology (Breed, 1983) clustered P. hermannsburgensis with most other species in Pseudomys, but phallic morphology interpreted by Lidicker and Brylski (1987) indicated closer affinity to species they placed in Leggadina. Digestive tract traits in relation to diet documented by Murray et al. (1994). Reviewed by Breed (1995 c).

Order Rodentia - Family Muridae
