Taxonomy notes

Microsciurus, Syntheosciurus, and Sciurus were recently tentatively revised, in which species of Microsciurus were moved to other genera; M. santanderensis was not included in this study however and its position is uncertain (it may be included under Leptosciurus based on morphology and distribution though); this arrangement is tentatively not followed here pending further investigation
