Había dos tipos de "Bilby". El "Bilby Menor", "Macrotis leucura", está oficialmente extinguido, los últimos en ser visto vivos se reportaron en 1950. El último ejemplar registrado fue un cráneo en el nido de un águila de cola de cuña en 1967. El Bilby menor era más carnívoro que sus parientes, y era más difícil de manejar. La única especie que sobrevive es el "Bilby Mayor", "Macrotis lagotis". Este ahora se conoce como "El Bilby" o "El Conejo Espigado Bandicoot".

The last specimen recorded was a skull in the nest of a Wedge Tailed Eagle in 1967. The lesser Bilby was more carnivorous than its relatives, and was more difficult to handle. The only surviving species is the “Greater Bilby”, “Macrotis lagotis”. This is now referred to as “The Bilby” or “The Rabbit Eared Bandicoot”.
