Comment:
Comments: Tribe Funambulini according to Moore (1959). Originally a subgenus of Xerus; includes Aethosciurus (with the exception of ruwenzorii, here included in Heliosciurus), Montisciurus, and Tamiscus. Recent molecular work of Mercer and Roth (2003) suggests that Paraxerus is not closely related to Funambulus, but to the rest of the African squirrels, in which case, it should be placed in the tribe Protoxerini
