Author:Schlegel and Müller, 1843.

Common Name:Northern Smooth-Tailed Treeshrew
Type Locality:Given as "Pontianak" (Kalimantan, Borneo); with little doubt actually collected by Diard at Cochin Chine, Vietnam (C. Smeenk, in litt.).
Distribution:From E Thailand (Chatraburi and Trat Provinces) through Cambodia to S Vietnam.
Status:CITES – Appendix II; IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Comments:Lyon (1913) and Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951) discussed the doubtful validity of the original type locality. Archival research at the Naturalis Museum, Leiden corroborates a Vietnamese origin for the holotype of murina (see type locality above).
