description: <i>Notomys</i> Lesson, 1842. Nouv. Tabi. Regne Anim. Mammifères, p. 129. TYPE SPECIES: <i>Dipus mitchellii</i> Ogilby, 1838. SYNONYMS: <i>Ascopharynx, Podanomalus, Thylacomys.</i> COMMENTS: Member of the Australian Old Endemics (Musser, 1981c:167), which includes the Conilurini where Baverstock (1984) placed <i>Notomys.</i> Gross and microscopical anatomy of neck glands described by Watts (1975); morphological variation in female reproductive tract documented by Breed (1985); morphology of male reproductive tract, glans penis, and spermatozoa described by Breed (1980, 1984, 1986), Breed and Sarafis (1978), and Morrissey and Breed (1982); results of electrophoretic studies presented by Baverstock et al. (1977b, 1981); chromosomal evolution and G-banding homologies addressed by Baverstock et al. (1977 c, <i>e,</i> 1983b). Mahoney and Richardson (1988) cataloged references to taxonomy, distribution, and biology of the species. Members of <i>Notomys</i> form a monophyletic group diagnosed by a suite of distinctive morphological and genic traits; closest phylogenetic relatives are species of <i>Pseudomys</i> (see Lidicker and Brylski, 1987, and references therein; Watts et al., 1992).
