Sciurinae

Template:Short description Template:Automatic Taxobox Sciurinae (Template:IPAc-en) is a subfamily of squirrels (in the family Sciuridae), uniting the flying squirrels with certain related tree squirrels. Older sources<ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> place the flying squirrels in a separate subfamily (Pteromyinae) and unite all remaining sciurids into the subfamily Sciurinae, but this has been strongly refuted by genetic studies.<ref>Steppan, S.
