Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
K. J. Travouillon et al. 2017Species of Silvicultor differ from all other peramele- morphians in having StE1 present on M1. They differ from all per- amelemorphians except species of Yarala, Microperoryctes papuensis, and Echymipera clara in having a poorly developed metaconule directly positioned at the base of the metacone on M1. They differ from all peramelemorphians except species of Bulungu, Madju variae, and all New Guinean bandicoots (except M. papuensis and E. clara) in having a well-developed StD1 on M1. They differ from all peramelemorphians except Macrotis lago- tis, E. kalubu, and species of Yarala and Bulungu in having a small
StC remnant on M2. They differ from all peramelemorphians except species of Bulungu and all New Guinean bandicoots (except Microperoryctes) in having a well-developed StD1 on M2. They differ from all peramelemorphians except for some species of Perameles (P. pallescens, P. nasuta, P. gunnii, P. sobbei, and P. b. bougainville) in having a posthypocristid orientated perpendicu- lar to the tooth row and connected to the entoconid on m2–3.
