 John Gould (1804-1881) Pig-footed Bandicoots (Chaeropus ecaudatus), c.1845. Pencil and chalk, 322 x 475 mm. John Gould’s (1804-1881) name is forever associated with his extraordinary publishing projects. Producing lavish books in the nineteenth century he helped to increase awareness of the amazing diversity of birds and mammals in Australia. Using great skill as an artist and naturalist he was able to draw life-like images of animals based only on their skins. His drawings have provided a record of animals that are now sadly extinct. www.nhm.ac.uk/nature-online/online-ex/art-themes/drawingconclusions/bandicoots_main.htm |

Taxonomy [top] Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family ANIMALIA CHORDATA MAMMALIA PERAMELEMORPHIA CHAEROPODIDAE Scientific Name: Chaeropus ecaudatus Species Authority Infra-specific Authority: (Ogilby, 1838) Common Name/s: English – Pig-footed Bandicoot French – Bandicoot Pieds De Cochon, Bandicoot À Pied De Porc, Bandicoot À Pieds De Cochon Sans Queue, Péramèle Anoure Spanish – Cangurito Piedecerdo Assessment Information [top] Red List Category & Criteria: Extinct ver 3.1 Year Assessed: 2008 Assessor/s Burbidge, A., Dickman, C. & Johnson, K. Evaluator/s: Lamoreux, J. & Hilton-Taylor, C. (Global Mammal Assessment Team) Justification: Listed as Extinct because it has not been located since the last specimen was collected in 1901. Aboriginal records indicate populations surviving into the 1950s, but there are no indications that it still persists. History: 1996 – Extinct (Baillie and Groombridge 1996) 1994 – Extinct (Groombridge 1994) 1990 – Extinct (IUCN 1990) 1988 – Extinct (IUCN Conservation Monitoring Centre 1988) 1986 – Extinct (IUCN Conservation Monitoring Centre 1986) 1982 – Extinct (Thornback and Jenkins 1982) Geographic Range [top] Range Description: The Pig-footed Bandicoot occurred in Australia. It was recorded from Western Australia, through South Australia and the southern part of the Northern Territory, to south-western New South Wales and western Victoria. The last known specimen was collected in 1901. Reports of sightings in central Australia during the 1920s were unconfirmed. There were recollections of this species by the Pintupi people in the Great Sandy and northern Gibson Deserts into the 1950s (Burbidge et al. 1988). Countries: Regionally extinct: Australia Population [top] Population: It is presumed to be extinct. Habitat and Ecology [top] Habitat and Ecology: It was found in semi-arid and arid areas such as open sclerophyll woodland, mallee, heath, and grassland. Systems: Terrestrial Threats [top] Major Threat(s): The main causes of this species’ demise are unknown, but it declined rapidly following European settlement (Johnson and Burbidge 2008). Destruction of habitat by rabbits and predation by foxes had been thought to be major factors, but these species were not yet present at the time Pig-footed Bandicoot populations crashed. Cats, however, were present and may have been a factor; disease or destruction of habitat by sheep might also have played a role (Johnson and Burbidge 2008). Conservation Actions [top] Conservation Actions: There are no conservation measures pertaining to this species. www.iucnredlist.org/details/4322 |

Since C. e. castanotis and C. e. occidentalis are both synonyms of C. e. ecaudatus, there are now no officially recognized subspecies of this taxa. The thread should therefore be renamed by as "Chaeropus ecaudatus" in my opinion.
