| | ADW: Peramelidae: Information |
 | | One genus, Chaeropus (pig-footed bandicoot), is probably now extinct, but it was fairly widely distributed when Europeans first entered Australia. |
 | | Bandicoots (genera Isoodon and Perameles) are classified together in the subfamily Peramelinae; bilbies (Macrotis) are placed in a separate subfamily, Thylacomyinae. |
 | | The pig-footed bandicoot may belong with the Peramelinae, or it perhaps should be classified by itself. |
