Comment:
Comments: Not preoccupied by Macrotis Dejean, 1833, a nomen nudum (Troughton, 1932b). Archer and Kirsch (1977) placed Macrotis (including its junior synonym Thylacomys) in a separate family (the name available being Thylacomyidae), rather than in Peramelidae. Groves and Flannery (1990) placed Macrotis back in Peramelidae
