The short-nosed bandicoots (genus Isoodon) are members of the order Peramelemorphia. These marsupials can be found across Australia, although their distribution can be patchy.^{[citation needed]} Genetic evidence suggests that short-nosed bandicoots diverged from the related long-nosed species around eight million years ago, during the Miocene epoch, and underwent a rapid diversification around three million years ago, during the late Pliocene.^[2]

Species and subspecies

While the IUCN lists only three species in this genus,^[3] as many as five species in this genus with the two subspecies of I. obesulus raised to full species.^[4]
