Discussion: Tribe Funambulini according to Moore (1959:170). Reviewed by Moore (1960) and Moore and Tate (1965). Includes Funambulus and Prasadsciurus as subgenera. Prasad (1957) proposed a separate subfamily for the genus, based on the supposedly unique anatomy of the male reproductive tract. Trends in evolution of karyotypes analyzed by Aswathanarayana (1987). Grouped with African squirrels by Moore (1959). However, recent molecular studies suggest that Funambulus is a basal member of the Callosciurinae ( Mercer and Roth, 2003), as suggested earlier on the basis of bacular morphology ( Pocock, 1923: 239).
