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 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.
