Abstract

Scandentians, commonly known as treeshrews (tree shrews), are the sister group of primates and colugos within the Euarchonta, a clade with an evolutionary history rooted in the Cretaceous (Roberts et al., 2011; Melin et al., 2016). Scandentians are, however, extremely rare in the fossil record (Ni and Qiu, 2012; Li and Ni, 2016) and, other than the Oligocene species Ptilocercus kylin Li and Ni, 2016, their earliest undoubted representatives are not older than 18 Ma (Li and Ni, 2016, and references therein).
