ORDER SCANDENTIA
Family Tupaiidae
Tupaia glis (Diard, 1820)
Tupaia glis phoeniura O. Thomas, 1923b: 255.
Paratype.— ♀, immature, alcohol, Deli Proefstation, Medan (98°39’E, 3°35’N), Sumatra, Indonesia, 1905-1917, collector L.P. le Cosquino de Bussy, ZMA 11.310.
Notes.— The data mentioned by Thomas (1923b) and applying to both holotype and this (single) paratype can be amended as follows. “Deli” was the name of an agricultural experimental station (Dutch: “proefstation”) at Medan, Sumatra. The collector of the specimens was stationed in Deli from 1905 to 1917. His proper name reads L.P. le Cosquino de Bussy. The year 1923 is the year of Thomas’ publication.
The paratype was received, probably in exchange, from the British Museum (Natural History) in 1923.
