SPECIES Tupaia glis
Author: | Diard, 1820. | Citation: | Asiat. J. Mon. Reg., 10: 478. | Common Name: | Common Treeshrew | Type Locality: | Malaysia, Penang (= Pinang) Isl (fixed by Lyon, 1913:45). | Distribution: | SE Asia south of about 10° N latitude, from the vicinity of Hat-Yai, S Thailand through mainland Malaysia (and adjacent coastal isls) to Singapore; also Indonesia, including Siberut, Batu Isls, Sumatra, Java, Bangka, and the Riau, Lingga, and Anambas Isls. | Status: | CITES – Appendix II; IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | Comments: | See comments under T. belangeri. In the past many additional taxa have been included in the synonymy of T. glis (e.g. see Chasen, 1940, and Corbet, in Corbet and Hill, 1992). Even with the separation of belangeri, chrysogaster, longipes, palawanensis, moellendorffi, and their synonyms, T. glis still retains many forms of uncertain rank and validity. Pending a detailed study, no subspecies are listed, but many if not most of the named insular forms are distinctive (see Lyon, 1913). |
