Describes the postcrania of the Miocene marsupials Ilaria illumidens and Ngapakaldia tedfordi and compares them with those of other vombatiforms and out-group marsupials. This title offers an analysis of postcranial characters that shows Ilaria to be most closely related to the wombats, primarily on the basis of the highly derived manus.
