Discussion: Tribe Funambulini according to Moore (1959). Originally a subgenus of Xerus ; includes Aethosciurus (with the exception of ruwenzorii , here included in Heliosciurus ), Montisciurus , and Tamiscus . Recent molecular work of Mercer and Roth (2003) suggests that Paraxerus is not closely related to Funambulus , but to the rest of the African squirrels, in which case, it should be placed in the tribe Protoxerini .
