Callosciurus orestes Thomas 1895 View in CoL , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, 15: 529.

Type Locality: Malaysia, Sarawak, Mount Dulit, 4000 ft. (1219 m) .

Vernacular Names: Borneo Black-banded Squirrel.

Synonyms: Callosciurus canalvus ( Moore 1959) ; Callosciurus venetus ( Chasen 1940) .

Distribution: Sabah and Sarawak (Borneo), Malaysia, at middle elevations ( Payne et al., 1985).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Formerly considered a subspecies of C. nigrovittatus (e.g., Medway, 1977:92), but clearly distinct ( Payne et al., 1985). Includes Glyphotes canalvus , which Moore (1959) placed in subgenus Hessonoglyphotes ; these names are now synonyms of Callosciurus . Closely related to adamsi (see comments therein).
