Treatment

Sciurotamias Miller, 1901 View in CoL . Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 14:23.

TYPE SPECIES: Sciurus davidianus Milne-Edwards, 1867 .

SYNONYMS: Rupestes Thomas, 1922 .

COMMENTS: Includes Rupestes and Sciurotamias as subgenera; reviewed by Moore and Tate (1965). S. davidianus has a penile duct and Cowper's glands, and its glans and baculum are similar to those of Ratufa ; therefore, Callahan and Davis (1982) removed this taxon from the Tamiasciurini ( Moore, 1959: 182) or Tamiini ( Gromov et al., 1965:124) and tentatively referred it to Ratufini .
