Sciurotamias Miller, 1901 . Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 14:23.

REVIEWED BY: J. R. Callahan (JRCL).

COMMENT: Includes Rupestes; reviewed by Moore and Tate, 1965, Fieldiana Zool., 48:1 -351. 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, J. Mammal., 63:42-47, removed this taxon from the Tamiasciurini where it had been placed by Moore, 1959, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 118: 182, and tentatively referred it to the Ratufini (JRCL). Gromov et al., 1965, placed this genus in the tribe Tamiini with the genus Tamias .
