| Author: | Gray, 1832. | | Citation: | Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1832: 68. | | Common Name: | Small-toothed Palm Civet | | Type Locality: | "from a specimen in the Leyden Museum, sent from the Molúccas", restricted by Jentink (1887) to "Java, Buitenzorg" [= Indonesia, Java, Bogor] (see comments). | | Distribution: | Bangladesh, Burma, China (Yunnan), India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. | | Status: | IUCN – Endangered as A. t. trilineata, otherwise Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | Revised by Pocock (1933a) and Van Bemmel (1952). Gray (1832) originally described the type from the "Moluccas"; later Temminck (1841) referred to the same specimen as being from "Java". Gray (1843), then corrected the presumed geographic error and listed the same type as from "Malacca". Jentink (1887) listed the same type from "Buitenzorg". However, Van Bemmel (1952) stated that the collector, Reinwardt, was in the eastern part of the Indo-Australian Archipelago in 1821 and the type did not match other specimens from Java. Synonyms allocated according to Pocock (1933a) except that Pocock placed leucotis, millsi and macra in a separate species (=leucotis). Corbet and Hill (1992) proposed three subspecies: Mainland north of the Isthmus of Kra (leucotis); Malaya, Sumatra, and Borneo (trivirgata); and Java (trilineata). |
