“…Eight locations below accommodated more than a single Funambulus species. Whereas it is accepted here that F. obscurus (Pelzeln & Kohl 1886), the dusky striped squirrel, is a valid species (Dissanayake & Oshida 2012, Yapa & Ratnavira 2013, making six species, this recognition is not germane here as F. obscurus from Sri Lanka is absent below. Treatment on taxonomic designations is by necessity brief.…”

“…Potentially, all accessible Indian specimens of these species from the above collections are listed here except from the MCZ. The most relevant material from the MCZ of F. obscurus (Pelzeln & Kohl 1886), the Dusky striped squirrel is listed elsewhere with identified localities (Dissanayake & Oshida 2012). Substantial remaining specimen collections are in South Asia.…”

Funambulus Lesson, 1835 incorporates palm squirrels representing model South Asian small mammals. They were widely collected between 1880 and 1980 furnishing international collections, especially in London. There’s a dearth of regional small mammal studies since the 1960s and lack of geographical data could contribute to this. Listed here are 172 locations anchored to ~478 specimens incorporating sites where the genus was collected in mainland South Asia with special attention to obscure localities in South India and Sri Lanka. Emphasis is placed on sites from the Bombay Natural History Society Mammal Survey of India, Burma and Ceylon from 1912 to 1929. This list, with sources, contributes to, and addresses historical and taxonomic mammalogical studies for the entire subregion.
