This is an extremely distinctive pseudocheirid, which was assigned to Petauroides with considerable reservation (Aplin, 1999:365). Species recognized within Petauroides by Long et al. (2002:130), but more recent specimens suggest this taxon is not a glider (K. P. Aplin [formerly of CSIRO, Canberra], personal communication).
