Description
Sciurotamias Miller 1901
Sciurotamias Miller 1901, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 14: 23.
Type Species: Sciurus davidianus Milne-Edwards 1867
Species and subspecies: 2 species with 2 subspecies in 2 subgenera:
Subgenus Sciurotamias (Sciurotamias) Miller 1901
Subgenus Sciurotamias (Rupestes) Thomas 1922
Species Sciurotamias (Sciurotamias) davidianus (Milne-Edwards 1867)
Subspecies Sciurotamias (Sciurotamias) davidianus subsp. davidianus Milne-Edwards 1867
Subspecies Sciurotamias (Sciurotamias) davidianus subsp. consobrinus Milne-Edwards 1868
Species Sciurotamias (Rupestes) forresti Thomas 1922
Discussion: Includes Rupestes and Sciurotamias as subgenera; reviewed by Moore and Tate (1965). S. davidianus has a penile duct and Cowper's glands, and its glans and baculum are similar to those of Ratufa; therefore, Callahan and Davis (1982) removed this taxon from the Tamiasciurini (Moore, 1959:182) or Tamiini (Gromov et al., 1965:124) and tentatively referred it to Ratufini. Molecular studies now support its placement in Tamiini (Steppan et al., 2004), as does morphology (Thorington et al., 1998).
