Comment:
Comments: The three named forms included here appear more closely related to each another than any is to T. palawanensis (where they are usually arranged; e.g. Heaney et al., 1998) and I provisionally separate them here as a distinctive complex; see also comments by Lyon (1913). This arrangement is somewhat more consistent with species-boundaries traditionally recognized in squirrels from the Palawan region (see accounts of Sundasciurus)
Comment:
Status: CITES - Appendix II; IUCN - Vulnerable (as included in T. palawanensis)
