101. DoTcopsis Madeayi Mikl.-Maclay. 



From the southern coast of New-Guinea. In 1888 

 (Catalogue, p. 92) Thomas said, that the species as des- 

 cribed might be a hybrid between D. luctuosa and Macropus 

 [Thylogale) Broioni; he at that time had no specimens 

 in the British-Museum. Later on however he changed his 

 opinion having studied the specimens from Loria's col- 

 lections, so that he called it an extremely rare species 

 in collections (Ann. Mus. Genova, 1897, p. 618). Loria 

 collected for the Genoa-Museum specimens at Haveri, 

 near Mount Wori-Wori, among the mountains behind the 

 Astrolabe Range, aud from the Upper Vanapa-river. Head 

 and body 490 mm., tail 320 mm.; skull: basal length 

 85 mm., greatest breadth 48 mm.

Described after a living male from Northern New-Guinea. 

 It appears larger than MfiUeri (Nov. Zool. 1898, p. 512).
