Pseudocheirus Ogilby, 1837 . Mag. Nat. Hist. (Charlesworth), 1:457.

COMMENT: Includes Petropseudes and Hemibelideus; see Haltenorth, 1958:30. Includes Pseudochirops; see Kirsch and Calaby, 1977:16. Revised by Tate, 1945, Am. Mus. Novit., 1287:1-30. Ride, 1970, reinstated Petropseudes and Hemibelideus to generic level, but Kirsch and Calaby, 1977, reduced them again. Petropseudes appears to belong in Pseudochirops but the affinities of Hemibelideus lemuroides are much closer to Schoinobates (= Petauroides); Hemibelideus probably deserves generic rank (GMM).
