Abstract: Before the collection in 1967 of three specimens of Pseudanteehinus mimulus from North I., Sir Edward Pellew Group, Northern Territory (c. 15'37'S, 136'53'E), the species was known only from the holotype collected 62 years earlier from Alexandria (e. 19'S, 137'E), approximately 300 km to the south of the Pellew Group. This paper redescribes P. mimulus and diagnoses it against other Pseudantechinus spp.
