The Nilgiri striped squirrel (Funambulus sublineatus) is an Indian squirrel (formerly subspecies F. s. sublineatus) once referred to as the Dusky-striped squirrel when it was regarded as a subspecies of a similar Sri Lankan species (Funambulus obscurus). It is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae.



Taxonomy


The species known in the past has recently been split into two species. The Indian form (formerly subspecies F. s. sublineatus) has now been referred to as the Nilgiri striped squirrel based on the oldest available common name from 1880[3], whereas the Sri Lankan form (formerly F. s. obscurus) is now allocated Dusky striped squirrel first used in 1884.[4]



Distribution


The former range of the species, before the taxonomic split[5] was in both India and Sri Lanka, though the Nilgiri palm squirrel (F. sublineatus) is now restricted in distribution to the Western Ghats of India. Very little is known of this squirrel, probably the smallest in the genus weighing about 40g. Its new status as an endemic mammal to India means records need updating.


The species is confined to wet humid forests either in the Western Ghats and Nilgiri hills (and surrounding areas such as around Kodaikanal in India)
