SPECIES Petinomys sagitta
| Author: | Linnaeus, 1766. | | Citation: | Syst. Nat., 12th ed., 1: 88. | | Common Name: | Arrow Flying Squirrel | | Type Locality: | Indonesia, Java. | | Distribution: | Java. | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | Formerly included in Hylopetes; see Medway (1977:102). May be conspecific with genibarbis; see Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1955:31). Medway (1977:102) considered it inadvisable to synonymize sagitta and genibarbis until the relationship has been certainly established. Corbet and Hill (1992) considered sagitta as incertae sedis. |
