FAMILY Chaeropodidae
| Author: | Gill, 1872. | | Citation: | Smithson. Misc. Collect., 11: 26. | | Comments: | A subfamily of Peramelidae according to McKenna and Bell (1997), who included Thylacomyidae as a synonym. Molecular data (Westerman et al., 1999, 2001) do not support this arrangement, but indicate that Chaeropus is the sister-group of all other Peramelemorphia, so it is given family rank here. |
