Sciurinae (/sɪˈjuːrɪneɪ/) is a
subfamily of
squirrels (in the
familySciuridae), uniting the
flying squirrels with certain related tree squirrels. Older sources[1][2] 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.[3]
