  Bandicoot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
A bandicoot is any of about 8 species of small to medium-sized, terrestrial marsupial omnivores in the subfamily Peramelinae (the true bandicoots) of the family Peramelidae; or in a broader sense, any of about 21 species of fairly similar animals in the order Peramelemorphia.
The word bandicoot is the anglicised version of "pandhikoku" (piglike) in Telugu language, the species that was originally called bandicoot is the Bandicoot Rat also known as Indian bandicoot.
In recent years, however, it has become clear that the rainforest bandicoots of New Guinea and far-northern Australia are distinct from all other bandicoots, and these remain within the order but are now grouped together in the separate family Peroryctidae.

 CSIRO PUBLISHING - Australian Journal of Zoology
The Peramelidae (30% of species have been studied) have chromosomes like the Dasyuridae except that X- and Y-chromosomes are much larger.
The occurrence of similar chromosome numbers in Dasyuridae and Peramelidae is not necessarily evidence of affinity.
The chromosomes of the Phascolomidae are similar in number and morphology to those of the Peramelidae and the resemblances are, almost certainly, due to parallel evolution.

 Bandicoot - BIRD
A bandicoot can be any of 10 species of small to medium-sized, terrestrial marsupial omnivores in the family Peramelidae or, in a broader sense, any of the 21 species in the order Peramelemorphia which includes both the true bandicoots and the related rainforest bandicoots of New Guinea.
Classification within the Peramelemorphia used to be simple: there were thought to be two families in the order — the short-legged and mostly herbivorous bandicoots, and the longer-legged, more nearly carnivorous bilbies.
The extinct Pig-footed Bandicoot differs significantly from the other bandicoots, and if there were still live animals to study, may well have been reclassified into a separate subfamily or even its own family by now.

 APUS.RU | Отряд ·Бандикутообразные - Peramelemorphia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Этот небольшой отряд включает малоизвестных сумчатых из двух семейства: 1 - бандикутовых и бильби (Peramelidae) и 2 - кроличьих и мышиных бандикутов (Peroryctidae, старая классификация - Thylacomyidae).
Согласно прежней классификации билби и бандикуты разделялись на два семейства Thylacomyidae и Peramelidae.
Новейшие исследования дают основания объединить их в одно семейство Peramelidae, из которого выделены вертлявые бандикуты и другие рода Новой Гвинеи (Echymipera, Peroryctes, Microperoryctes), в свою очередь объединенные в новое семейство Peroryctidae.
