===Order Scandentia=== {{main|List of scandentians}} The 23 [[species]] are placed in four [[genus|genera]], which are divided into two families. The majority are in the "ordinary" treeshrew family, [[Tupaiidae]], but one species, the [[pen-tailed treeshrew]], is different enough to warrant placement in its own family, [[Ptilocercidae]]; the two families are thought to have separated 60 million years ago.<ref name="Roberts2011" /> The former Tupaiidae genus ''[[Urogale]]'' was disbanded in 2011 when the Mindanao treeshrew was moved to ''Tupaia'' based on a molecular phylogeny.<ref name="Roberts2011"> {{cite journal|last1= Roberts|first1=T.E.|last2= Lanier|first2=H.C.|last3= Sargis|first3=E.J.|last4= Olson|first4=L.E.|title= Molecular phylogeny of treeshrews (Mammalia: Scandentia) and the timescale of diversification in Southeast Asia|journal= Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution|volume= 60|issue= 3|year= 2011|pages= 358β372|doi= 10.1016/j.ympev.2011.04.021|pmid=21565274}} </ref> ;Family [[Tupaiidae]]: *Genus ''[[Anathana]]'' ** [[Madras treeshrew]], ''A. ellioti'' *Genus ''[[Dendrogale]]'' ** [[Bornean smooth-tailed treeshrew]], ''D. melanura'' ** [[Northern smooth-tailed treeshrew]], ''D. murina'' *Genus ''[[Tupaia (genus)|Tupaia]]'' ** [[Northern treeshrew]], ''T. belangeri'' ** [[Golden-bellied treeshrew]], ''T. chrysogaster'' ** [[Bangka Island treeshrew]], ''T. discolor'' ** [[Striped treeshrew]], ''T. dorsalis'' ** [[Mindanao treeshrew]], ''T. everetti'' ** [[Sumatran treeshrew]], ''T. ferruginea'' ** [[Common treeshrew]], ''T. glis'' ** [[Slender treeshrew]], ''T. gracilis'' ** [[Javan treeshrew]], ''T. hypochrysa'' ** [[Horsfield's treeshrew]], ''T. javanica'' ** [[Long-footed treeshrew]], ''T. longipes'' ** [[Pygmy treeshrew]], ''T. minor'' ** [[Mountain treeshrew]], ''T. montana'' ** [[Nicobar treeshrew]], ''T. nicobarica'' ** [[Palawan treeshrew]], ''T. palawanensis'' ** [[Painted treeshrew]], ''T. picta'' ** [[Kalimantan treeshrew]], ''T. salatana'' ** [[Ruddy treeshrew]], ''T. splendidula'' ** [[Large treeshrew]], ''T. tana'' ;Family [[Ptilocercidae]]: *Genus ''[[Ptilocercus]]'' ** [[Pen-tailed treeshrew]], ''P. lowii'' <gallery mode=packed> The Madras treeshrew (Anathana ellioti) by Davidraju img7.jpg|upright=0.8|[[Madras treeshrew]] (''Anathana ellioti'') The northern smooth-tailed treeshrew.jpg|upright=0.8|[[Northern smooth-tailed treeshrew]] (''Dendrogale murina'') Tupaia belangeri.JPG|upright=0.8|[[Northern treeshrew]] (''Tupaia belangeri'') Stavenn Tupaia glis 00.jpg|upright=0.8|[[Common treeshrew]] (''T. glis'') Tupaia javanica.jpg|upright=0.8|[[Horsfield's treeshrew]] (''T. javanica'') Tupaia minor.jpg|upright=0.8|[[Pygmy treeshrew]] (''T. minor'') </gallery>
