Idiurus macrotis Miller 1898 View in CoL

Idiurus macrotis Miller 1898 View in CoL , Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 12: 73.

Type Locality: Cameroon, "Efulen, Cameroon district, West Africa".

Vernacular Names: Long-eared Scaly-tailed Flying Squirrel.

Synonyms: Idiurus cansdalei Hayman 1946 ; Idiurus langi J. A. Allen 1922 ; Idiurus panga J. A. Allen 1922 .

Distribution: Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ghana, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon (see Julliot et al., 1998). N, NE, and E Dem. Rep. Congo, W Tanzania (see Schunke and Hutterer, 2000).

Conservation: CITES – Appendix III ( Ghana); IUCN – Lower Risk (nt). Not mentioned in Schlitter (1989).

Discussion: The names langi and panga were considered synonyms of I. m. macrotis by Verheyen (1963:183); cansdalei was regarded as a subspecies by Hayman (1946:211) and by Verheyen (1963:183). In the second edition of this text, Dieterlen (1993) included kivuensis Lönnberg, 1917, by mistake in macrotis instead of including it in zenkeri , as was correctly done by Verheyen (1963:182).
