{{see also|List of peramelemorphs}}
The placement of the population within taxonomic classification has changed in recent years. Vaughan (1978){{full citation needed|date=December 2015}} and Groves and Flannery (1990){{full citation needed|date=December 2015}} both placed this family{{which|date=December 2015}} within the family [[Peramelidae]]. Kirsch et al. (1997){{full citation needed|date=December 2015}} found them to be distinct from the species in [[Peroryctidae]] (which is now a subfamily in Peramelidae). McKenna and Bell (1997){{full citation needed|date=December 2015}} also placed it in Peramelidae, but as the sister of ''[[Pig-footed bandicoot|Chaeropus]]'' in the subfamily Chaeropodinae.<ref>{{MSW3 Groves|pages=38|id=10900003|heading=Macrotis}}</ref>
