Region:
BASSIAN Hedley (1894)
Diagnosis:
“The eastern and south- eastern coastal strip, lying between the coast line and the Dividing Range south of the Clarence River, and also Tasmania. On the mainland it naturally merges to a certain extent, where the dividing Ranges falls away at its western end” (Spencer 1896: 196–199).
Type-locality:
Barrington Tops New South Wales, Australia, 31°55'21.78"S 151°32'11.46"E.
The precise divide between the Bassian and Torressian regions is never clearly defined by Spencer (as the diagnosis shows). Presently the area between the McPherson Ranges and Glass House Mountains is chosen as a general location of the biotic break between both regions.
