Phalanger intercastellanus: Comments
Comment:
Comments: Flannery et al. (1987) suggested that what were hitherto regarded as the southern races of P. orientalis may prove to be specifically, even generically distinct, as Strigocuscus mimicus, and Flannery (1994a) definitively separated them but used the earlier name intercastellanus. Norris and Musser (2001) returned this species to Phalanger, and separated P. mimicus from it (see below). The species needs revision; at present no subspecies are recognized
Comment:
Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (nt). CITES - Appendix II as P. orientalis
