Misprint of Sciurus aestuans argentinius Anderson, 1985. CONTENTS AND CONTENTS. Order Rodentia, suborder Sciuromorpha, family Sciuridae, family Sciurinae, tribe Squirini, genus Squirurus, subgenus Guerlinguetus. Dental genealogy and evidence support the high ranking of sciurids within the family Sciuroidea (e.g., Montgelard et al. 2002; Marivaux et al. 2004) and provided evidence that the suborder Sciuromorpha includes polyphyletic units (Marivaux et al. 2004); However, the order Rodentia, suborder Sciuromorpha is still the most common taxonomy (eg, Thorington and Hoffmann 2005). The genus Sciurus consists of 28 species (Thorington and Hoffmann 2005). Eight species are recognized in Guerlinguetus: Sciurus aestuans, S. gilvigularis, S. granatensis, S. feu, S. pucheranii, S. Richmondi, S. sanborni na S. stramineus (Honacki et al. 1982; Thorington et Hoffmann 2005). Five species of S. ignitus are currently recognized (Cabrera 1961; Anderson 1997; Thorington et al. 2012):

NOMENCLATURAL WORDS. Classifying South American squirrels is difficult due to variable color patterns, poor representation of some taxa, and lack of adequate documentation or knowledge of the local species. The role and species have changed several times for S. ignitus following the ongoing study of New World tree squirrels (eg, Gray 1867; Thomas 1899, 1902, 1914; Allen 1915; Cabrera 1961) and continue to fix it due to lack of completeness. molecular data (Amori et al. 2011). The work of the department also supports further studies, since the areas identified are now based on geographic regions rather than visual differences or genetic studies (Anderson 1997). Gray (1867) identified New World tree squirrels with postauricular ears as belonging to the genus Macroxus and recently separated specimens of S. ignitus into 3 species of Macroxus: Macroxus ignitus, Macroxus irroratus and Macroxus leucogaster. Thomas (1899:40) assigned Gray's (1867), Macroxus irroratus to the group Sciurus aestuans (according to Allen, 1878), naming a new section (S. a. cuscinus) and suggests that the type locality for this species is "probably near Sarayacu" in the Ucayali River, Peru. In 1902, Thomas named a specimen collected near Cochabamba, Bolivia, as Sci.
