Most other species are found in smaller areas within this range. Some antechinuses such as the Atherton antechinus and the Cinnamon antechinus are found only in an extremely limited range in tropical North Queensland. Only the Fawn antechinus is found in the Northern Territory, in the Top End. The only antechinus in Tasmania is the Swamp antechinus.
