next section
Prosciurillus weberi (Jentink, 1890)
Sciurus weberi Jentink, 1890: 115, pl. VIII, pl. X figs 1-3.
Paralectotypes.— 1 ♀ (?), mounted skeleton, near Palopo (2°59’S, 120°11’E), Luwu, Sulawesi, Indonesia, ii.1889, coll. M.W.C. Weber, ZMA 11.237. 1 ♀ (?), mounted specimen, skull, near Palopo, Luwu, Sulawesi, Indonesia, coll. M.W.C. Weber, ZMA 11.328.
Notes.— The indication of the sex on the old labels of these specimens is equivocal. Their collecting date has been quoted earlier as 1888, but Weber visited Palopo in February 1889. Musser, Durden, Holden & Light (2010) designated the lectotype and confirmed the paralectotype status of the two ZMA specimens.
