| Author: | Bangs, 1902. | | Citation: | Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., 39: 25. | | Type Species: | Syntheosciurus brochus Bangs, 1902. | | Comments: | Tribe Microsciurini according to Moore (1959). Goodwin (1946) suggested that Syntheosciurus might be a subgenus of Sciurus; but see Heaney and Hoffmann (1978), Enders (1980), and Hall (1981:438). Moore (1959:179) included Mesosciurus (granatensis, pyrrhinus) as a subgenus, but see Sciurus. |
