Crosby, K., March 2007. Rediagnosis of the fossil species assigned to Strigocuscus (Marsupialia, Phalangeridae), with description of a new genus and three new species. Alcheringa 31, 33-58. ISSN 0311-5518. The skull of the Miocene phalangerid Strigocuscus reidi is described for the first time. Anatomy of the new skull and the periotic of the holotype leads to a rediagnosis of the species and its placement in a new genus, Onirocuscus. Three new species are described from Riversleigh, Queensland, ranging from early to middle Miocene: O. silvacultrix, O. notialis, and O. rupina. Strigocuscus notialis, a Pliocene species from Victoria is also transferred to the new genus based on phenetic similarity of its dentition to that of other species assigned to the genus.
