Perameles is a genus of marsupials of the order Peramelemorphia. They are referred to as long-nosed bandicoots or barred bandicoots.[1][2]
Perameles, or ‘pouched badger’, is a hybrid word, from the Greek Script error: No such module "lang". (πήρα, ‘pouch, bag’) and the Latin Script error: No such module "Lang". (‘marten, badger’).[3]
More than half the known recent species of Perameles have been driven to extinction, although these extinct species were long considered conspecific with P. bougainville, a 2018 study determined them to be distinct species.[4]
The extant species are:
- Western barred bandicoot (P. bougainville)
- Eastern barred bandicoot (P. gunnii)
- Long-nosed bandicoot (P. nasuta)
- Queensland barred bandicoot (P. pallescens)
The recently extinct species are:
- †Desert bandicoot (P. eremiana)
- †New South Wales barred bandicoot (P. fasciata)
- †Southwestern barred bandicoot (P. myosuros)
- †Southern barred bandicoot (P. notina)
- †Nullarbor barred bandicoot (P. papillon)[5]
Fossil species are,
