Family SCIURIDAE Fischer, 1817 View in CoL

REMARKS

Sciurids are not generally captured by Sherman or pitfall traps, so we could only here provide old collections records and visual field observations. In West and Central Africa, this family is highly diversified into seven genera ( Monadjem et al. 2015).
