Prosciurillus topapuensis

Mammals

Prosciurillus topapuensis is a species of squirrel in the genus Prosciurillus, in the family Sciuridae of the order Rodentia and class Mammalia. The Global Biodiversity Information Facility backbone lists it as an accepted species described by Roux in 1910, and the iNaturalist taxon record gives it the common name Mount Topapu dwarf squirrel, does not mark it extinct, and carries an IUCN Red List status of near threatened. English Wikipedia has no article of its own on the species, and the two records read give classification, naming and status only, so this description makes no claim about its range, size, diet or habits.
