Discussion: Reviewed by Corbet and Hill (1992), who recognized philippensis as distinct and allocated many forms to it that were formerly assigned to petaurista ; the two species are widely sympatric. Also reviewed from the literature by Day (1988); karyotypic variation reported by Yong and Dhaliwal (1976). Taxonomic revision and comprehensive review of geographic variation needed ( Corbet and Hill, 1992). Ghose and Bhattacharya (1995) proposed full species status for P. fulvinus , based on limited specimen comparison.
