order diprotodontia owen, 1877 Suborder Diprotodontia Owen, 1877:xii, 107. comments. The rank appears to be derived from Owen (1868:293), who suggests that marsupial dentition shows them to be divisible into “two classes: one ‘polyprotodont,’ or characterized by several pairs of mandibular incisors; the other ‘diprotodont,’ or by a single pair.” Rank not recognized by Krefft (1871:3), Gill (1872), Flower (1883:178), Bensley (1903:207), or Simpson (1945:45). Recognized at suborder rank by Nicholson (1880:661), Lydekker (1887:xi, xxi, 146), Thomas (1888a:xi, 3), Flower and Lydekker (1891:xi, 144), Ogilby (1892:24), Cope (1889:876), Weber (1904:348, 1928:xiii, 75), Gregory (1910:197, 215), Osborn (1910:517), and Iredale and Troughton (1934:vii, 21). Recognized at ordinal rank by Haeckel (1895:466), Kirsch (1968:420, 1977a:112, 1977b:45) (as Diprotodonta), Strahan (1983:xxi) (as Diprotodonta), Archer (1984:787) (as Diprotodonta), and Aplin and Archer (1987:xxi), who proposed a new classification that included two suborders, the Vombatiformes and Phalangerida. Infraorder rank recognized by Archer (1984:786) and as a semiorder by Szalay (1993:239, 240, 1994:42). Kirsch et al. (1997:245–246) recognized three suborders, the Vombatiformes, Macropodiformes, and Phalangeriformes. The author of this rank has historically been incorrectly given as Owen (1866), never with page number, by all authors that include the citation for the rank, including Gregory (1910:98, 199, 464, 492), Marshall (1981:17), McKenna and Bell (1997:58), and Long et al. (2002:77). Suborder Syndactyli Gill, 1871 [part]:533. comments. Definition expanded by Gill (1872:vi, 25). Included bandicoots and diprotodontids. Recognized as superorder by McKenna (1993:743) and at grandorder rank by McKenna and Bell (1997:56). Order Macropoda Ameghino, 1889:263, 266. comments. Included the families Macropodidae, Phalangistidae, and Phascolomyidae. Subsequently used by Ameghino (1916:452) but does not appear to have been used by subsequent others. Synonymized within Diprotodontia by McKenna and Bell (1997:58). Suborder Diprotodonta Thomas, 1895a:876. comments. Incorrect emendation of Diprotodontia. Spelling used by a number of authors at the suborder rank by Deberer (1909:614); infraordinal rank by Archer (1984:786); and ordinal rank by Archer (1984:787), NUMBER 638 • 9 Ride (1964:97, 99), Kirsch (1968:420, 1977a:112, 1977b:45), Turnbull (1971:176), Baverstock (1984:2), and Strahan (1983:xxi). The correct spelling was reviewed by Aplin and Archer (1987:xliii), who concluded that Diprotodonta is an invalid emendation of Diprotodontia. Suborder Syndactyla Jones, 1923 [part]:133. comments. Rank included bandicoots and diprotodontids. Recognized at ordinal rank by Szalay (1982:631, 1994:42), who also included the superfamily Notoryctoidea. Synonymized within Diprotodontia by Aplin and Archer (1987:xliii) and other authors, including Groves (2005:43). Synonymized within Syndactyli Gill (1871:8) by McKenna and Bell (1997:56). Section Syndactyla Diprotodontia Jones, 1923:171. comments. Included bandicoots and diprotodontids. Recognized at ordinal rank by Szalay (1982:631, 1994:42). Synonymized within Diprotodontia by Aplin and Archer (1987:xliii) and other authors, including Groves (2005:43). Synonymized within Syndactyli (Gill, 1871:8) by McKenna and Bell (1997:56). Duplicicommissurala Abbie, 1937:432. comments. Rank not specified. Synonymized within Diprotodontia by Aplin and Archer (1987:xliii) and McKenna and Bell (1997:58). Semisuborder Diprotodontiformes Szalay, 1993:240. comments. The semisuborder Vombatomorphia was separated. Synonymized within Diprotodontia by McKenna and Bell (1997:58). Order Diprotodontiformes Kinman, 1994:37. comments. Synonymized within Diprotodontia by McKenna and Bell (1997:58). suborder phalangerida aplin and arCher, 1987 Suborder Phalangerida Aplin and Archer, 1987:xxii, xlix. comments. Rank synonymized within Diprotodontia by McKenna and Bell (1997:58), but recognized by Strahan (1995:7, 206), Roberts et al. (2007:2), and Van Dyck and Strahan (2008:9, 209). Suborder Phalangeriformes Szalay, 1982:631. comments. Synonymized within Diprotodontia by Aplin and Archer (1987:xliii) and McKenna and Bell (1997:58). Subordinal rank recognized by Woodburne
