Author: | Miller, 1898. | Citation: | Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 12: 73. | Common Name: | Long-eared Scaly-tailed Flying Squirrel | Type Locality: | Cameroon, "Efulen, Cameroon district, West Africa". | 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). | Status: | CITES – Appendix III (Ghana); IUCN – Lower Risk (nt). Not mentioned in Schlitter (1989). | Comments: | 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). |
