SPECIES Anathana ellioti
| Author: | Waterhouse, 1849. | | Actual Date: | 1850 | | Citation: | Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1849: 107. | | Common Name: | Madras Treeshrew | | Type Locality: | India, Andhra Pradesh, "hills between Cuddapah and Nellox" (= Velikanda Range). | | Distribution: | India south of the Ganges River. | | Status: | CITES – Appendix II; IUCN – Lower Risk (nt). | | Comments: | Museum material of Anathana is very limited. Lyon (1913) named pallida and wroughtoni as full species based on minor pelage differences; Corbet (in Corbet and Hill, 1992) is probably correct in his assumption that these three "intergrade without definable boundaries." |
