Dendrogale is a genus of treeshrew in the family Tupaiidae found in Southeast Asia and Borneo.[1] It contains these species:
- Bornean smooth-tailed treeshrew (D. melanura)
- Northern smooth-tailed treeshrew (D. murina)
Dendrogale diverged from the rest of the Tupaiidae family at 34.77 mya, and is considered the most basal tupaiid genus.[2]
