Dasyuridae was recognised by Jones (1923) as two
species, Dasycercus Cristicauda and Dasycercus Hillieri, which was later
combined to a single species with two subspecies (Jones 1949). However,
recent work at the South Australian Museum has confirmed the original
assessment of certainly two species with the possiblilty of more.
Continuing taxonomic research is underway to confirm the taxonomic
boundaries.
Dasycercus Hillieri (common name Ampurta) is also
considered as Endangered.
