Taxonomic remark As unallocated in order Diprotodontia in McKenna & Bell, 1997. From Louys & Price, 2013 (listed therein in family Macropodidae): Described by de Vis (1883b), the taxon was included in the family Macropodidae by Mahoney and Ride (1975), although they also suggested that it might be better placed in the Diprotodontidae. Dawson and Flannery (1985) suggested it possessed no characters diagnostic of the Macropodinae (long-faced kangaroos), and its placement remains uncertain, if indeed it is a valid taxon. We consider Brachalletes palmeri as a species inquirenda. [details]
