Topic: Thylacomyidae

	Re: Bibly classification
		Bilbies used to be included in their own family and it was called Thylacomyidae (notice how all family names end with "-idae" (thats a rule when naming families).
		The more we have learnt about the relationship of bilbies to other bandicoots has tended to make us think that they are similar enough in many ways to be included in the bandicoot family -peramelidae (which includes all the bandicoots).
		ie Family - Peramelidae (used to be Thylacomyidae) Subfamily - Thylacomyinae Within the families and subfamilies we get down to the genus level which is a grouping of animals that are all very similar in their general characteristics of form ie they look similar.

		lagotis spermatozoa support the present taxonomic status of the Thylacomyidae as a distinct family.
		In addition, shared spermatological characteristics between that of the Thylacomyidae, Dasyuridae, Peramelidae and Tarsipes rostratus are also evidence of a close phylogenetic relationship.
		However, the precise phylogeny of the Thylacomyidae requires further investigation.

		Behaviour of the Bilby, Macrotis lagotis (Reid), (Marsupialia : Thylacomyidae) in Captivity
		The behaviour was observed, in captivity, of the bilby Macrotis lagotis, a fossorial bandicoot of central Australia.
		Information is also given on female-female and mother-young behaviour, and some suggestions are made concerning the social structure of wild bilbies.

		Myology of the Head and Neck of the Bandicoot (Marsupialia, Peramelemorphia)
		The facial, masticatory, and neck musculature of Echymipera ('Peroryctidae'), Isoodon (Peramelidae), and Macrotis (Thylacomyidae) is detailed and figured, as are skull attachments of the described muscles.
		Each bandicoot family is myologically distinct, and all show greater differentiation of muscles than didelphids or dasyurids, especially in the neck.
