GENUS Macrotis
| Author: | Reid, 1836. | | Actual Date: | 1837 | | Citation: | Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1836: 131. | | Type Species: | Perameles lagotis Reid, 1837. | | 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. |
