Postcranial Descriptions of <i>Ilaria</i> and <i>Ngapakaldia</i> (Vombatiformes, Marsupialia) and the Phylogeny of the Vombatiforms Based on Postcranial ... of California Publications in Zoology)

The author describes the postcrania of the Miocene marsupials Ilaria illumidens and Ngapakaldia tedfordi and compares them with those of other vombatiforms and out-group marsupials. A cladistic analysis of postcranial characters shows Ilaria to be most closely related to the wombats, primarily on the basis of the highly derived manus. Ngapakaldia's postcranium is more plesiomorphic and most similar to the phalangeriform possums.Munson, Carol J. is the author of 'Postcranial Descriptions of Ilaria and Ngapakaldia (Vombatiformes, Marsupialia) and the Phylogeny of the Vombatiforms Based on Postcranial ... of California Publications in Zoology)', published 1992 under ISBN 9780520097728 and ISBN 0520097726.
