The former subfamily Planigalinae contained the planigales and the ningaui: very small marsupial carnivores native to Australia which are, like the quolls, antechinuses, dibblers, Tasmanian Devil, and many others, part of the biological order Dasyuromorphia: the carnivorous marsupials.
The subfamily is now contained in the Sminthopsinae subfamily, and the two genera are split between two different tribes; the planigales are by themselves in their own tribe, while the ninguai are lumped with the dunnarts and the Kultarr.
All members of the subfamily are very small, ranging from Giles´ Planigale at just over 10 grams to the smallest marsupial of all, the 4.3 gram Long-tailed Planigale.

Currently we are utilising a series of nuclear genes to complement our extensive mitochondrial database for dasyurid species
Detailed analysis (both of DNA sequences and allozymes) of the subfamily sminthopsinae has led to a reassessment of species relationships in this group and has revealed a great deal of previously unrecognised genetic diversity, including new species complexes.
More than any other group of Australian marsupials, the relationships of bandicoots are poorly understood at both inter- and intraordinal levels.
