We report the capture of individuals of two species of phascogale (Phascogale tapoatafa wambenger and P. calura) at the same locations within the same habitat and during the same survey event, something that has not been reported previously.

Further investigations are required to confirm the extent of sympatry as this could have implications for the conservation and management of both species.
