Notes

  1. never collected live in South Australia, but reported by John Gould in 1863, and remains have since been found in subfossil deposits
  2. locally extinct on mainland; native populations remain on the Franklin Islands; introduced on Reevesby and St Peter Islands
  3. known in South Australia only from subfossil deposits, which are difficult to distinguish from those of P. gouldii
