The Madras treeshrew (''Anathana ellioti''), also known as the Indian treeshrew, is a species of treeshrew in the monotypic genus ''Anathana'' found in the hill forests of central and southern India. The genus name is derived from the Tamil name of ''moongil anathaan'' (literally "bamboo squirrel") and the species name is after Sir Walter Elliot of the Indian Civil Services in Madras. ==Description==
This treeshrew is 16.0 to 18.5 cm long with a tail of 16.5 to 19.5 cm. The nominate race (type locality: Eastern Ghats, Madras. British Museum 50.1.21.5) has the tail coloured like the back, the ground colour above being reddish-brown while the feet and hind legs are buff or ochraceous. The other two races have the tail coloured differently from the back. The race ''A. e. pallida'' (type locality: Manbhum, Bengal, collected by Robert Cecil Beavan British Museum 66.12.28.2) has the colour of body above reddish-brown and the feet and hind legs grizzled buffy. Race ''A. e. wroughtoni'' (type locality: Mandvi, Surat, collected by R. C. Wroughton British Museum 96.11.7.1) has the colour of body above dull grizzled brownish and the feet and hind legs grizzled greyish. Some later workers lump all the three races. Its dental formula is . The dentition is suited for an omnivorous diet. Some authors have suggested this species could be included within the genus ''Tupaia'', although most have kept the genus separate based on anatomical differences.
