I have written in another thread that Chaeropus ecaudatus is two speces. I've made a request at Kenny Travouillon and he replied the following:
Dear Melanie,
Yes, I’m working on the Chaeropus paper at the moment, and should have it submitted within 2 months, so expected published this year.

Have you heard something updated?

Have you heard something updated? No, and I don't think that Mr Travouillon will inform me personally when he is going to publish his paper. He has an own site at Researchgate so it is of advantage to look there from time to time when you want to know if he has published a new paper. www.researchgate.net/profile/Kenny_Travouillon |

I've made a new request at Kenny Travouillon. He wrote to me that his new paper is currently in the review process and that it will be published at Zootaxa.

Ladies and Gentleman, say hello to Chaeropus yirratji Hidden in plain sight: reassessment of the pig-footed bandicoot, Chaeropus ecaudatus (Peramelemorphia, Chaeropodidae), with a description of a new species from central australia, and use of the fossil record to trace its past distribution KENNY J. TRAVOUILLON, BRUNO F. SIMÕES, ROBERTO PORTELA MIGUEZ, SELINA BRACE, PHILIPPA BREWER, DAVID STEMMER, GILBERT J. PRICE, JONATHAN CRAMB, JULIEN LOUYS PDF (14MB) Restricted Access Abstract The Pig-footed Bandicoot, Chaeropus ecaudatus, an extinct arid-adapted bandicoot, was named in 1838 based on a specimen without a tail from the Murray River in New South Wales. Two additional species were later named, C. castanotis and C. occidentalis, which have since been synonymised with C. ecaudatus. Taxonomic research on the genus is rather difficult because of the limited material available for study. Aside from the types of C. castanotis and C. occidentalis housed at the Natural History Museum in London, and the type of C. ecaudatus at the Australian Museum in Sydney, there are fewer than 30 other modern specimens in other collections scattered around the world. Examining skeletal and dental characters for several specimens, and using a combination of traditional morphology, morphometrics, palaeontology and molecular phylogenetics, we have identified two distinct species, C. ecaudatus and C. yirratji sp. nov., with C. ecaudatus having two distinct subspecies, C. e. ecaudatus and C. e. occidentalis. We use palaeontological data to reconstruct the pre-European distribution of the two species, and review the ecological information known about these extinct taxa. mapress.com/j/zt/article/view/zootaxa.4566.1.1 |

It is still not in the IUCN red list but I am curious whether it will find its entry into the upcoming Illustrated Checklist of the Mammals of the World from Lynx Edicions.

I'm curious too, Melanie.
I also wonder how many specimens there are of this species (C. yirratji) and the two subspecies of C. ecaudatus. As there were only 29 known specimens of C. ecaudatus/yirratji before the taxonomic split.
Did anyone here read/have the 2019 full paper? Or does anyone here have knowledge of the current number of specimens?

Good news: Chaeropus yirratji is included in the HMW special volume but without illustration (as all extinct species in the volume don't have depictions) (Information from Birdforum.net)
