Apart from the echidna line, the 150 million years of platypus evolution has produced no species radiation, although the fragmentary skull evidence available for the identification of Monotrematum sudamericanum, has led to its tentative classification as separate taxon (Pascual et al., 1992).
The classification of the giant echidna, Zaglossus hacketti is uncertain because of the lack of cranial material (Griffiths et al., 1978).
However, apart from this specimen, there has only been the relatively recent divergence of the short and long beaked echidna over the echidna's 60 million year long evolutionary course (Griffiths et al., 1991).
