<li><em>Megalibgwilia</em> is a genus of echidna known only from Australian fossils that incorporates the oldest known echidna species.</li>
<li><em>Megalibgwilia</em>was first described from a broken left humerus by Richard Owen when he identified <em>M. ramsayi</em> in 1884.</li>
<li>It lived during the Pleistocene, becoming extinct about 50,000 years ago.</li>
