Treatment

Macrotis Reid, 1837 . Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1836:131 [1837].

TYPE SPECIES: Perameles lagotis Reid, 1837 .

SYNONYMS: Paragalia, Phalacomys, Thylacomys .

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 .
