Tupaia belangeri Wagner 1841 View in CoL

Tupaia belangeri Wagner 1841 View in CoL , in: Schreber, Die Saugethiere, Suppl., Vol. 2: 42.

Type Locality: Burma, Pegu, Siriam (near Yangon).

Vernacular Names: Northern Treeshrew.

Subspecies: :

Subspecies Tupaia belangeri subsp. belangeri Wagner 1841

Subspecies Tupaia belangeri subsp. chinensis Anderson 1879

Distribution: S and SE Asia north of and including the Isthmus of Kra: Thailand, Burma, Bangladesh, far E India and Nepal, S China, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and associated coastal islands, including Hainan. Probably also Preparis Isl north of the Andaman Isls ( Lyon, 1913:61).

Conservation: CITES – Appendix II; IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Often included in T. glis , but belangeri differs from glis in pelage coloration, mammae formula, and craniodental aspects. Toder et al (1992) and Hirai et al. (2002) discussed chromosomal differences between belangeri and glis , and Endo et al. (2000) reported their syntopic occurrence at Hat-Yai in S Thailand (south of the Isthmus of Kra). All forms north of this contact zone are referred here to T. belangeri . A careful revision of geographic variation within T. belangeri is needed; I have divided the named forms into belangeri and chinensis groups (which might be better recognized as closely-related parapatric species), but this simplistic arrangement no doubt masks a good deal of taxonomic complexity within these two groups. For additional discussion see Lyon (1913), Agrawal (1975), Lekagul and McNeely (1977), and Wang (1987).
