Goldfuss, 1820Tribes & Genera Dasyurini - 10 genera
Phascogalini - 7 generaThe subfamily Dasyurinae includes several genera of small carnivorous marsupials native to Australia: quolls, Kowari, Mulgara, Kaluta, dibblers, phascogales pseudantechinuses, and the Tasmanian Devil. The subfamily is defined largely on biochemical criteria.
