Treatment

[Tupaia] ellioti Waterhouse 1849 , Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1849: 107.

Type Locality: India, Andhra Pradesh, "hills between Cuddapah and Nellox" (= Velikanda Range).

Vernacular Names: Madras Treeshrew.

Synonyms: Anathana pallida Lyon 1913 ; Anathana wroughtoni Lyon 1913 .

Distribution: India south of the Ganges River.

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

Discussion: Museum material of Anathana is very limited. Lyon (1913) named pallida and wroughtoni as full species based on minor pelage differences; Corbet (in Corbet and Hill, 1992) is probably correct in his assumption that these three "intergrade without definable boundaries.".
