Petinomys sagitta (Linnaeus, 1766) . Syst. Nat., 12th ed., 1:88.

TYPE LOCALITY: Indonesia, Java .

DISTRIBUTION: Java.

COMMENTS: Formerly included in Hylopetes; see Medway (1977:102). May be conspecific with genibarbis; see Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1955:31). Medway (1977:102) considered it inadvisable to synonymize sagitta and genibarbis until the relationship has been certainly established. Corbet and Hill (1992) considered sagitta as incertae sedis.
