Treatment

Vombatidae Burnett 1829 , Quart. J. Lit. Sci. Art., 1829: 351.

Synonyms: Phascolomyidae Goldfuss 1820 .

Genera: 2 genera with 3 species:

Genus Lasiorhinus Gray 1863 (2 species with 3 subspecies)

Genus Vombatus E. Geoffroy 1803 (1 species)

Discussion: Phascolomyidae Goldfuss, 1820 , is based on Phascolomis , a junior synonym ( Haltenorth, 1958:32). Because Phascolomyidae was replaced with Vombatidae before 1961, and because Vombatidae has won general acceptance, it is to be maintained (Art. 40.2 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 1999).
