Petinomys sagitta (Linnaeus, 1766) . Syst. Nat., 12th ed., 1:88.

TYPE LOCALITY: Indonesia, Java .

DISTRIBUTION: Java.

COMMENT: Formerly included in Hylopetes; see Medway, 1977: 102. May be conspecific with genibarbis; see Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1955, SuppL to Chasen, (1940), Handlist of Malaysian Mamm., p. 31. Medway, 1977:102, considered it inadvisable to synonymize sagitta and genibarbis until the relationship has been certainly established.
