Range Description

This widespread squirrel has been recorded from northeastern South Asia, southern China and much of mainland Southeast Asia. In South Asia, this species has been recorded from Bhutan, India (Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland and Sikkim [Molur et al. 2005]) and Nepal where it widely distributed up to 1,500 m asl (Molur et al. 2005). In China, it has been recorded from Yunnan and Xizang (Smith and Xie 2008). In Southeast Asia, it ranges from Myanmar, through much of Thailand, western Cambodia, northern Viet Nam, western Lao PDR and northern Peninsular Malaysia. There is a recent published record from Sumatra (Indonesia), but this is considered erroneous.
