Glirisorex ScuppDER, Nomenclator Zool., pt. 11, 151, 1882. 
Name suggested in place of Sorexglis Diard, 1822. ‘‘M. Diard, qui a découvert 
trois espéces de ce genre, lui avait imposé le nom de ^orexglis . . . Nous 
pensons qu'en renversant les deux mots dont ce nom se compose, il en résultera 
un autre, plus facile à prononcer, et en cela préférable. Ce nom seroit Glisore, 
Glisorex. Celui de Tupaia, adopté par M. Raffles, peut aussi, à la rigueur, étre 
conservé. "*
