Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc)
Comment:
Comments: Cuvier wrote, "Je donnerai à cet Écuriel le nom de Pyrropus, á cause de la couleur rousse de ses pieds." Schinz (1845) spelled the species name pyrrhopus with no mention of the previous spelling. This constitutes an unjustified emendation. Not found on Bioko, Equatorial Guinea (= "Fernandopô", see type locality), and since the animal was a pet, it probably was captured on the mainland (Thomas, 1890:447)
