I'm a bit skeptical about the sourcing for these images though, given what we now know about the author. They claim the pictures were own work, but these are hard-to-find tiny mammals living in a remote place (New Guinea); there aren't a lot of people who really would be able to have pictures of them

I am very familiar with the taxonomic literature for this group and I am confident the name has no basis in reality. The cited authority, Tate & Archbold (1941), does not include this name. There is a corresponding
Wikispecies article that I got deleted; it attributed the name to Laurie (1952)

I wouldn't be confident identifying these, as many of these dasyurids look quite similar and I don't have experience with the animals themselves, only their names, but based on the pictures in
Flannery (1995) the identifications look solid. For example,
