Description
Planigale ingrami brunneus Troughton, 1928
Rec. Aust. Mus. 16(6): 282, plate xxxix, figs 1a–h. (11 June 1928).
Common name. Long-tailed Planigale.
Current name. Planigale ingrami brunnea Troughton, 1928. We consider the status of this entity to be unresolved.Although subspecies of P. ingrami, including brunnea, were recognized by most authors in the past (see Jackson & Groves, 2015), recent authors suspect that described forms possibly represent clinal variation (e.g., Fisher, 2008; Baker, 2015; Jackson & Groves, 2015). However, unpublished genetic evidence indicates that several species exist within populations allocated to ingrami (K. Aplin, pers. comm. 2016).
Holotype. M.2174 by original designation. Female adult (with one young), skull, body in alc. Donated by Fred L. Berney, registered January 1910, collection date not given.
Condition. Cranium missing right zygomatic arch, hole in right side of intraparietal; both dentaries complete. Body in alc.: faded, some internal organs removed, dorsal fur slip.
Type locality. Wyangarie, on the Flinders River, Richmond District, North Qld, Australia (Troughton).
Comments. Description apparently based on a single specimen, a lactating female. Troughton gave the nipple number as 6 but 11 are visible, and the female pouch young has 12 (Woolley & Elliott, 2015). Tate (1947) applied the name brunnea, which is the earliest emendation that we have found. Type locality inadvertently given as Western Australia instead of Queensland, by Jackson & Groves (2015).
