[Dremomys] pyrrhomerus ( Thomas 1895) View in CoL , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, 16: 242.

Type Locality: "Ichang, Yang-tse-kiang [river] [Hupei, China]." .

Vernacular Names: Red-hipped Squirrel.

Subspecies: :

Subspecies Dremomys pyrrhomerus subsp. pyrrhomerus Thomas 1895

Subspecies Dremomys pyrrhomerus subsp. riudonensis J. A. Allen 1906

Distribution: C and S China, extreme N Vietnam, Hainan Isl ( China).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Moore and Tate (1965) treated pyrrhomerus as a species separate from rufigenis based on evidence of geographic parapatry, and relative rostral length. Corbet and Hill (1992) listed gularis as a separate species, but considered other forms of pyrrhomerus to be conspecific with rufigenis , whereas Zhang et al. (1997) followed Moore and Tate (op. cit.), providing additional Chinese locality records showing sympatry of the two taxa at 10 localities in Yunnan, 3 in Guangxi, and one each in Hunan and Anhui provinces.
