Taxonomic notes and synonyms listed
A taxonomic revision is needed on different geographic populations. Schreiber et al. (1989) point out that the Javan form of A. trivirgata is clearly distinct from the ones on Borneo and Sumatra, which might be a distinct species. Van Bemmel (1952) noted
Paradoxurus trivirgatus Gray, 1832

Assessment rationale/justification
Although the name of Bangladesh mentioned as the westernmost range of the species (Duckworth et al. 2008, Khan 2009), there is no report confirming its occurrence in Bangladesh. However, it is expected to occur in mixed evergreen in the northeast and southeast of Bangladesh. In the absence of any concrete proof of occurrence the species has been categorized as Data Deficient.

Habitat details as listed in assessment
This species is strongly arboreal and secretive. Primarily frugivorous, but also feeds on a wide range of animal food.
