| 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). |
