Named in honour of Dr Peter Kendrick, in recognition of his major contribution to the understanding of the vertebrate fauna of north-western Australia. Material examined. See Table 1 for a list of all Planigale kendricki specimens examined in this study, referred to as Planigale 1 in the table. Diagnosis. Planigale kendricki (Fig. 10) is more rufous than all other members of the genus except perhaps some individuals of P. ingrami. It is substantially larger than each of P. ingrami, P. tenuirostris and P. sp. Mt Tom Price, and smaller than P. novaeguineae and P. gilesi. It is most similar in body size to some populations of P. maculata but differs from all populations of this taxon in its brighter dorsal and facial patterning. Craniodentally, it differs from all other Planigale species except P. tenuirostris in having more elongate nasals that invade deeply between the frontals. It further differs from typical P. maculata, and P. novaeguineae in having a more depressed cranium, a longer and narrower snout, and larger entoconids on M 1–3. It further differs from P. gilesi in having three upper premolars (reduced to two in P. gilesi). It also differs from P. tenuirostris in having less reduced M 1–4 protocones and less reduced entoconids on M 1–3 (usually absent on M 1–2 in P. tenuirostris).Published as part of Umbrello, Linette S., Cooper, Norah K., Adams, Mark, Travouillon, Kenny J., Baker, Andrew M., Westerman, Mike & Aplin, Ken P., 2023, Hiding in plain sight: two new species of diminutive marsupial (Dasyuridae: Planigale) from the Pilbara, Australia, pp. 1-46 in Zootaxa 5330 (1) on pages 24-25, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5330.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/824888

Teale et al., 5 th July 2004. Spirit specimen with liver and heart tissue stored at ‒80 °C at WAM. Etymology. Named in honour of Roy Teale, who has supported the work of the Western Australian Museum over many decades and collected many of the specimens used in this study. Material examined. Refer to Table 1 for a list of all P. tealei specimens examined in this study, labelled as Planigale sp. Mt Tom Price in Table 1. Diagnosis. Planigale tealei is considerably smaller in all external and cranial dimensions than each of P. kendricki, P. maculata, P. novaeguineae and P. gilesi. It further differs from each of these taxa in having a more depressed cranium and differs from P. gilesi in retaining upper and lower third premolars. It is slightly smaller than P. tenuirostris and further differs from this species in having a considerably more depressed cranium with a shorter rostrum. It is most similar in size and craniodental morphology to P. ingrami, but it differs from this taxon in having a longer snout and proportionally larger pes, and in lacking a distinct eye ring. The cranium differs from that of all named forms of P. ingrami in having a broadly rounded rather than square posterior nasal suture, a broader interorbital region, more rounded and elongate alisphenoid tympanic process that makes broad contact with the rostral tympanic process of the petrosal, a less flattened occiput and proportionally larger premolars.Published as part of Umbrello, Linette S., Cooper, Norah K., Adams, Mark, Travouillon, Kenny J., Baker, Andrew M., Westerman, Mike & Aplin, Ken P., 2023, Hiding in plain sight: two new species of diminutive marsupial (Dasyuridae: Planigale) from the Pilbara, Australia, pp. 1-46 in Zootaxa 5330 (1) on page 32, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5330.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/824888
