of the rufohrachium group represented in the present collection. The

Funisciurus Trouessart 



Funisciurus (subgenus of Sciurus) Trouessart, 1880, Le Naturaliste, II, No. 

 37, October 1, p. 293. Genotype, by monotypy, Sciurus isabella Gray = Funisciurus 

 lemniscatus isabella (Gray). A few weeks later (idem, 1880, II, No. 40, November 15,

 assumption that S. isabella Gray was a strict synonym of the earlier S. lemniscatus.
