Description
Tupaia moellendorffi Matschie 1898
Tupaia moellendorffi Matschie 1898, Sitzb. Ges. Naturf. Fr. Berlin: 39.
Type Locality: Philippines, Culion Isl.
Vernacular Names: Calamian Treeshrew.
Subspecies::
Subspecies Tupaia moellendorffi subsp. moellendorffi Matschie 1898
Subspecies Tupaia moellendorffi subsp. busuangae Sanborn 1952
Subspecies Tupaia moellendorffi subsp. cuyonis Miller 1910
Distribution: Calamian Isls (Busuanga, Culion) and Cuyo in the Philippines.
Conservation: CITES – Appendix II; IUCN – Vulnerable (as included in T. palawanensis).
Discussion: The three named forms included here appear more closely-related to each another than any is to T. palawanensis (where they are usually arranged; e.g. Heaney et al., 1998) and I provisionally separate them here as a distinctive complex; see also comments by Lyon (1913). This arrangement is somewhat more consistent with species-boundaries traditionally recognized in squirrels from the Palawan region (see accounts of Sundasciurus).
