Discussion: Subtribe Pteromyina . Sciuropterus was previously employed for this genus by Simpson (1945:80); he believed Pteromys to be a synonym of Petaurista , but Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951:466) presented evidence for the validity of Pteromys . However, Pteromys may be the sister group to Petaurista ( Oshida et al., 2000 b) .
