In the past, various authors proposed to place treeshrews in the ordinal rank Insectivora, or considered them close relatives of primates. Since 1972, the treeshrew families Tupaiidae and Ptilocercidae are grouped in the order Scandentia. * Family Ptilocercidae ** Genus ''Ptilocercus '' - pen-tailed treeshrew * Family Tupaiidae ** Genus ''Anathana'' - Madras treeshrew ** Genus ''Dendrogale'' - smooth-tailed treeshrew ** Genus ''Tupaia (genus), Tupaia''
