Common name: Red-and-white Giant Flying Squirrel Myanmar name:

Distribution: Southern China and Northeastern Myanmar. Remarks: Currently, there are five recognized subspecies and P. a. ochraspis is regarded as Myanmar subspecies ( Thorington et al. 2012). However, it is controversial because Tun Yin (1993) described two subspecies of Myanmar: Chindwin flying squirrel P. a. candidulus and Taylor ’ s flying squirrel P. a. taylori; however, the later was considered as a synonym of P. a. candidulus by Ellerman and Morrison-Scott ( Jackson and Thorington 2012).
