Comment:
Comments: This citation is usually listed as "Cat. Mamm. Mus. Zool. Soc., 1838" but Myrmecobiidae is not used in this catalogue; see Palmer (1904). Some authors (including McKenna and Bell, 1997) include this family in the Dasyuridae; see Vaughan (1978:39); but also see Ride (1964b), Archer and Kirsch (1977), and Kirsch and Calaby (1977:15), who retained this family
