Myrmecobius fasciatus (Waterhouse 1841) is the extant numbat. Here it nests with Glironia, the bushy-tailed opossum. The molars are simplified because this is a marsupial termite eater, convergent with placental termite- and ant-eaters. Over each orbit is an extension of the frontal, a pseudo-postfrontal.
