This squirrel is considered by Jentink to be identical with S. 

 tristriatus, from which it differs however markedly in that the 

 yellow dorsal streak extends a very much shorter distance both 

 anteriorly and posteriorly, and the ventral surface is a bright chest- 

 nut instead of a very pale yellow, so that unless intermediate forms 

 are found it would certainly be better to keep them apart.
