Description
Peramelidae Gray 1825
Peramelidae Gray 1825, Ann. Philos., n. s., 10: 336.
Genera: 6 genera with 18 species in 3 subfamilies:
Subfamily Peramelinae Gray 1825
Genus Isoodon Desmarest 1817 (3 species with 7 subspecies)
Genus Perameles E. Geoffroy 1804 (4 species)
Subfamily Peroryctinae Groves and Flannery 1990
Genus Peroryctes Thomas 1906 (2 species with 2 subspecies)
Subfamily Echymiperinae McKenna and Bell 1997
Genus Echymipera Lesson 1842 (5 species with 6 subspecies)
Genus Microperoryctes Stein 1932 (3 species with 3 subspecies)
Genus Rhynchomeles Thomas 1920 (1 species)
Discussion: Formerly considered to include the family Thylacomyidae; see Vaughan (1978:39) and Groves and Flannery (1990); but also see Archer and Kirsch (1977). Revised by Tate (1948 b). Divided by McKenna and Bell (1997) into two families: Peramelidae, with two subfamilies, Chaeropodinae (for Chaeropus and Macrotis) and Peramelinae; and Peroryctidae, with two subfamilies, Peroryctinae and Echymiperinae. Molecular data (Westerman et al., 1999, 2001) do not support the monophyly of Chaeropodinae in the sense of McKenna and Bell (1997), show that Chaeropus is very distinct from other bandicoots, and do not support the monophyly of Peroryctidae.
